There are plenty of simple things you can do in between expert servicing to advance the efficiency of your furnace and keep it functioning in tip top shape. Try these furnace maintenance tips:

  • Yes, we’ve said it before, but we can’t stress this enough: check your filters often and clean or replace them when recommended. This is such a straightforward way to enhance the airflow through your furnace and maintain top efficiency.
  • Keep all your vents and cool air returns clear of blockages. This includes keeping any ventilation around your home clear.
  • Test your thermostat regularly to guarantee it’s working correctly. Merely turn it on and gradually increase the temperature setting until you hear your furnace turn on. If it doesn’t turn on, look back to our blog post on furnace repair for additional thermostat tips, or give us a call.
  • If you observe dust gathering around your cool air returns or a great deal of debris within your ducts, contemplate having your ducts efficiently cleaned. To find out more about duct cleaning and how to determine if it’s time to hire someone, go to our blog on duct cleaning.
