Las Vegas furnace maintenance essentials
- Heat exchanger inspection — checking for cracks or corrosion that could allow carbon monoxide leaks.
- Burner cleaning — removing dust and oxidation for clean, efficient combustion.
- Ignition system test — verifying igniter condition and flame sensor response.
- Gas valve and pressure check — confirming safe operating pressure and proper gas flow.
- Flue and venting inspection — ensuring exhaust gases exit the home safely and completely.
What drives furnace maintenance needs in Las Vegas
- Desert dust clogging burners and coating flame sensors, causing ignition failures
- Long idle periods (April–October) that let dust settle into combustion chambers
- Sudden winter cold snaps dropping temperatures into the 30s–40s overnight
- Gas valve and pressure issues from thermal cycling and seasonal temperature swings
- Heat exchanger stress from the extreme hot-cold cycles unique to the desert
When to schedule furnace maintenance in Las Vegas
- In early fall (September–October), before the first cold snap arrives.
- After the long idle summer months when dust has settled into the system.
- If you hear clicking, banging, or smell a burning odor when the furnace starts.
- When the system takes longer than usual to reach the set temperature.
- Annually for any furnace, and twice yearly for systems older than 15 years.

Common Questions About Furnace Maintenance in Las Vegas
How often does a furnace need maintenance in Las Vegas?
At least once per year, ideally in early fall before heating season begins. Because Las Vegas furnaces sit idle for 5–6 months during summer, dust accumulates in burners and flame sensors, making pre-season service especially important.
What does a furnace tune-up include?
We inspect the heat exchanger, clean burners and flame sensors, test ignition and gas pressure, check the blower motor and electrical connections, and verify safe venting. The visit typically takes 60–90 minutes.
Is furnace maintenance really necessary in Las Vegas?
Yes. Even though winters are short, desert nights regularly drop below 40°F and can reach the 30s. A furnace that hasn’t been maintained after months of sitting idle is more likely to fail when you need it most.
Can maintenance prevent carbon monoxide leaks?
Absolutely. A cracked heat exchanger is the primary source of CO leaks in gas furnaces. Our technicians inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, corrosion, and stress marks during every maintenance visit.
What maintenance plans include furnace service?
Our Comfort Club and Platinum Package cover both heating and cooling tune-ups, so your furnace and AC are maintained before each season. Members also receive priority scheduling and discounts on repairs.
