    Tune-ups from $99

    Multi-point inspection of every safety, efficiency, and wear component on your furnace or AC.

    Warranty protected

    Manufacturer warranties require documented annual maintenance — we keep yours valid.

    Lower energy bills

    A clean, tuned system uses up to 15% less energy than a neglected one.

    What's included in a residential HVAC maintenance visit

    Furnace tune-ups (recommended every fall) include a full safety inspection: heat exchanger check for cracks, gas pressure verification, burner cleaning, blower motor service, ignition and flame sensor cleaning, thermostat calibration, electrical connection check, and filter replacement. We also test combustion to confirm safe carbon monoxide levels.

    AC tune-ups (recommended every spring) include refrigerant level check, condenser coil cleaning, evaporator coil inspection, electrical safety check, blower and capacitor test, condensate drain clearing, and a full performance reading to confirm the system is hitting its rated efficiency.

    Why annual maintenance pays for itself

    Skipping annual service is the #1 reason Calgary furnaces fail in the middle of January. Dust, soot, and small wear issues compound quietly all year — until a –25 °C cold snap pushes the system past its limits. A $99 tune-up catches those issues during business hours, instead of becoming a $1,200 emergency repair on Christmas Eve.

    Beyond preventing breakdowns, regular maintenance keeps your system running at its rated efficiency. A neglected furnace or AC can lose 5–15% of its efficiency per year through dirty coils, clogged burners, and worn components — that's hundreds of dollars in extra utility bills annually for the average Calgary home.

    Maintenance plans

    We offer pay-as-you-go tune-ups starting at $99 per system, plus annual Comfort Plans that bundle your spring AC and fall furnace tune-ups, priority emergency dispatch, and discounts on any repairs. Plans are designed for both single-system and full furnace + AC homes.

    A level above the rest! Ivan and his crew did a fantastic job moving our A/C unit and installing a heating system in our garage. They were completely on time, on budget, and very reasonably priced. What really stood out was the great respect they showed for our home and yard. They used drop cloths inside and tarps outside, taking extra care to minimize the mess and clean up after themselves completely. We’ve used other Plumbing & HVAC contractors in the past who were just okay, but Air Force's service quality was a level above all of them. Highly recommend!

    Air Force Heating did an excellent job removing our old hot water tank and installing a new Navien tankless water heater at a very competitive price !! The technicians were professional, knowledgeable, and completed the installation efficiently. They took the time to answer my questions, cleaned up after the job, and made sure everything was working properly before leaving. Very happy with the quality of work and the improved hot water system. I would definitely recommend Air Force Heating to anyone considering a tankless water heater upgrade.

    The process was top notch through the whole process: 1) They answered the request for a quote quickly (I'm surprised when other companies called back 3-4 days later). They came the next day at the agreed upon time. 2) The quote was reasonable and about $50 less than others (tight market). 3) The installation was scheduled quickly, and done well the following week. 4) It appears as if the work was done professionally with an attention to detail. It's still too cold to see how everything works, but will update the review as needed. 4) Communication was prompt and helpful. I would recommend Ivan and Air Force Heating in the future.

    We needed a new Air Conditioner. An appointment was promptly scheduled with Mike. For the installation, we received great service from Ivan and Dmytro for our new Armstrong A/C. All our questions were answered and they did a great job.

    Had a really good experience with Air Force Heating and Air Conditioning. They installed a Gree heat pump for me and everything went smooth. Showed up on time, explained things in a simple way, no pressure or upselling. Install was clean and pretty quick, and the system is working great so far. Only thing is I wish they walked me through the thermostat a bit more, but overall still very satisfied. Would recommend.

    Frequently asked questions

    How often should I service my residential HVAC system?

    Furnace once per year in early fall (before the heating season), AC once per year in spring (before the cooling season). Some manufacturers require annual service to keep the warranty valid.

    How much does a residential HVAC tune-up cost?

    Furnace and AC tune-ups start at $99 per system. Combined furnace + AC tune-ups, and annual Comfort Plans, are available at a bundled rate.

    Will maintenance really lower my energy bills?

    Yes. A clean, properly tuned furnace and AC use up to 15% less energy than neglected systems. Most Calgary homeowners save more on utility bills than the tune-up costs.

    Do I need maintenance if my system is brand new?

    Yes — most manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to keep the 10-year parts warranty valid. Skipping service can void your warranty even on a 2-year-old furnace.

    What's the best time to book a tune-up?

    Book your furnace tune-up in September or early October, and your AC tune-up in April or May. Booking off-season also unlocks priority scheduling and the best availability.
