What Is Furnace Maintenance?
Furnace maintenance is a preventative service designed to examine, clean, and tune your heating system to ensure its efficient and safe performance. Scheduled furnace maintenance identifies potential issues before they become larger problems, thus prolonging both its performance and lifespan and lessening the impact on your wallet.
What Is Included In Furnace Maintenance?
While each furnace maintenance appointment may require different repairs and care, below are preventative tasks we will perform during each service.
- Thorough Inspection: Our HVAC technicians will conduct a complete examination of your furnace to identify any signs of wear or damage as well as malfunction.
- Cleaning: We will professionally clean every component of your furnace, such as its burners, heat exchanger, blower motor, and air filters to remove dirt, dust, and debris that accumulates over time and improve its overall efficiency and airflow.
- Lubrication: Moving parts in your furnace require proper lubrication in order to reduce friction and wear, and we provide this service to ensure an uninterrupted and efficient process.
- Safety Checks: Our number one priority is your safety. Our technicians will conduct safety inspections of your furnace, such as checking its gas lines for leaks or testing for carbon monoxide leaks before verifying its functionality and safety controls.
- System Calibration: Our technicians will calibrate your furnace’s controls and thermostat for accurate temperature readings and optimal energy efficiency.
When To Schedule Furnace Maintenance?
Maintaining your furnace at least annually is strongly advised, ideally before the heating season starts. Fall is an ideal time for this service as this ensures your system will run smoothly before winter hits. However, it is never too late to begin taking care of your heating system.

Jamar was polite and efficient. He explained what was happening with my AC and provided a temporary fix for the night. Said he'll be back tomorrow to do a permanent fix.
Excellent service! Jamar is very polite and efficient. Fixed my AC in less time than anticipated. You can send him back all the time. Great role model for other employees and young men his age.
Albert explained everything he did for my HVAC maintenance. He was very competent and completed the maintenance required.
Overall I'm very impressed with the Southern Air technicians. They have been prompt, efficient and polite. Glad that there are still companies offering great customer service.

The installation was excellent—no mess, completely professional, and the crew worked clean and efficiently. Truly a top notch job from start to finish. Service was fast, too: I called around noon on day one, and someone was out within a couple of hours. The estimator came the next day, and by the following day the new unit was installed.
It’s been running like a dream. As I said, the installation was outstanding, and I’m really enjoying the new A/C unit. Thank you again for the exceptional work.
This is the second A/C unit I’ve purchased from Southern Air—the first one lasted 19 years. Their sales, installation, and service are consistently top notch, exactly what you need in this Florida heat.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Gary, for your feedback and for choosing Southern Air again. We’re glad you appreciated our professionalism and fast response, and that the installation process stayed clean and efficient with your new system running smoothly. Please call us anytime to schedule seasonal tune-ups or set up ongoing service to keep everything performing its best.

07/06/26 - Dylan, today, for our routine semi-annual maintenance check. In his thorough, attention to detail, Dylan ID'd a couple electrical components that were "struggling", and destined for failure, i.e., he caught them "early" - that's called "trouble-shooting expertise"! Proactive correction is so much wiser than repairs after failure!! Another Great check-up!
01/06/26 - Routine semi-annual check-up, today! All was well, and, all went well! Robert, almost always our "Go-To" Guy, always the consummate professional, was our Guy, today; performed a thorough inspection, and routine maintenance on our two A/C systems w/ an up-check on both! We're good to go for another 6 months, or, until we're not!
Southern Air is a team-oriented operation w/ a deep bench of well-trained, well-motivated, wonderful technically proficient professionals, both in the field and in the office! They like what they do, they like each other, they're having fun, and it really shows!! This is a growing business that should be, if not, already, the case study focal point of college-level business operation and administration studies, locally and around the country!
07/22/25 - Today is Tuesday. This past Friday, we enjoyed our regular semi-annual check-up, and all went well; we passed the quiz!💥 Then, sometime Saturday late afternoon/early evening, things started "warming up"!
By Sunday A.M., our a/c system, a mere 2 yrs old, was failing via an oscillating blower motor on our Air Handler.
Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Temp's are rising rapidly; we're in distress! Send Help!!
Jamar Witt, another stellar performer from Southern Air, arrived to discover our blower motor acting up, and was able to get it squared away ... sorta! About an hour later, after a full & frank discussion, it resumed it's irregular misbehavior, again. I brought Molly up to speed, another star "weekend warrior" @ Southern Air, and she relayed to Jamar who wrote the order; and we settled in for a couple toastie days, waiting for replacement parts!
Today, our parts arrived, and Jamar just departed, ~1730, having replaced our blower motor - easy-peasy! We're cooling rapidly, now, from a heat-soaked 87°!
What did we ever do before a/c? 🙄
Southern Air to our rescue, again, 24/7! 👍🇺🇲
Response from the owner:We truly appreciate you taking the time to keep sharing your experiences with us—it never goes unnoticed! Robert and Gabby are both top-notch, and we're lucky to have them on the team. Thank you for your continued trust in Southern Air. It means the world to us!

My ac went out on a Friday around 5pm and it was a holiday weekend, I figured no one would answer much less come out . I was wrong they had a technician out within 30 minutes of my call and got my unit back up and running. Can not thank them enough .

We’re proud of our fast response and glad we could get a technician to you quickly and have your AC running again before the holiday weekend.

Jamar checked the air handler as it was making a strange noise. He said it most likely was doing that because the air filter was very dirty. I changed the filter last night & we could not hear it anymore. While he was here, he checked the system out & all was running ok!
Response from the owner:Louise, thanks for taking the time to share this. I’m glad Jamar was able to pinpoint the likely cause and that changing the filter solved the noise right away. We appreciate you choosing Southern Air, and it’s great to hear everything else checked out and is running well.

I enjoy the fast communication with this company. They provide timely messages to let you know when the technician is heading your way. They very much keep your appointment time as close as possible, if not totally accurate. The maintenance of the system appears to be done by experienced personnel. They're clean and keep your property clean. 🙂
Response from the owner:Thank you, Mary, for your feedback and for recognizing our fast response with timely updates, on-time arrivals, and a clean, professional maintenance visit. We take pride in our professionalism and in treating every home with care. Please feel free to call us anytime for seasonal tune-ups or to set up ongoing service.
