Based on 2026 projections for the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro area, the average cost for HVAC maintenance varies depending on the type of service and equipment:
- Standard One-System Tune-Up: A typical visit for either a furnace or an air conditioner is expected to range from $90 to $150.
- Comprehensive Dual-Fuel Evaluations: Inspections covering both heating and cooling systems will likely cost between $180 and $250 per visit.
- Specific Equipment Variations:
- Newer single-stage systems: $90–$130.
- Older high-efficiency modulating furnaces: $110–$170.
- Heat pumps or dual-fuel systems: $150–$220.
- Ductless mini-split systems: $100–$180 per head.
Homeowners can also manage these costs through annual service agreements. A Basic Plan covering one system typically costs $140–$180 per year, while a Premium Plan covering both heating and cooling costs between $220 and $300 annually.
Additional factors that can influence these prices include seasonal demand surcharges (typically $15–$30 during peak months) and the complexity of the system’s technology.
