Once a year is the right cadence for most homes. Schedule it in spring, before the first stretch of hot weather, so any issues are handled while parts and appointment times are easier to get.
A clean filter is important, but it doesn’t replace a professional visit. Filters don’t clean the outdoor coil, check refrigerant charge, test capacitors, or clear a drain that is starting to clog. Those are the items that usually cause the expensive failures.

A one-time visit covers this season’s inspection. A maintenance plan includes regular furnace and air conditioner tune-ups, plus discounts on repairs and parts. Most homeowners who want both systems looked after every year find the plan simpler and more cost-effective.
Yes — and you should, on the schedule the filter manufacturer recommends. That still isn’t a substitute for a tune-up. Filters don’t inspect the heat exchanger, test safety switches, or clean the flame sensor, which is one of the most common reasons a furnace suddenly stops lighting.
