HVAC Maintenance & Tune-Ups
The cheapest repair is the one that never happens.
Minnesota furnaces run 2,000+ hours a season — more than almost anywhere in the country. An annual tune-up catches the failing ignitor in October instead of at 2am in January, keeps manufacturer warranties valid, and pays for itself in efficiency. Our techs work a documented checklist and show you every reading.
What a Stratum tune-up covers
- Combustion analysis and heat-exchanger inspection (with camera, shown to you)
- Ignitor, flame sensor, and safety-control testing
- Blower cleaning, static-pressure measurement, and filter check
- For AC: refrigerant charge, coil condition, capacitor health, condensate drain
- Carbon monoxide check at every visit
- A written report with photos — what’s healthy, what’s wearing, what can wait
How we handle maintenance & tune-ups
Fall furnace tune-up
Before the first cold snap — the single highest-value hour of maintenance a Minnesota homeowner can buy.
Spring AC tune-up
Charge, coils, and capacitors verified before the first heat wave finds the weak part for you.
Commercial maintenance programs
Scheduled rooftop and multi-unit programs that keep small problems from becoming tenant complaints and shutdowns.
No upsell policy
Findings come with photos and readings. If nothing needs fixing, the report says so — techs are not commissioned salespeople.
Your quote, upfront
Flat-rate tune-ups — the quote is the number charged, and findings come with photos, not pressure.

Is an annual furnace tune-up really necessary?
In Minnesota, yes. Furnaces here run harder and longer than nearly anywhere else, most manufacturer warranties require documented annual maintenance, and the highest-failure parts (ignitors, flame sensors) show wear a tech can catch early. One January no-heat call costs more than years of tune-ups.
How often should I service my furnace, and when should I schedule it?
Once a year for each system. Furnace: September–October, before the heating season. AC: April–May, before the first heat wave. Minnesota furnaces run 2,000+ hours a season, so an annual service is what keeps the warranty valid and catches the failing part in October rather than at 2am in January. Book early — the first cold snap fills every HVAC schedule in the metro overnight.
