Furnace Maintenance Tips
Change Your Furnace Filter Regularly:
For optimal furnace performance, it’s important to regularly check and change your furnace filter. A clogged filter restricts airflow, making it harder for your system to efficiently heat your home. Standard 1” filters should be replaced every 30 days, while thicker 5” filters can last up to 6 months. If you have pets or a dustier home, consider changing the filter more often.
Schedule Annual Furnace Maintenance:
Annual preventative maintenance by a certified HVAC professional is crucial to keeping your system running smoothly. Regular checkups help prevent emergencies, breakdowns, and ensure optimal performance. Our certified technicians will clean, inspect, and address any potential issues. The best time to schedule furnace maintenance is in the fall, before the heating season begins.
Keep Your Indoor & Outdoor Vents Clean
Keep both your indoor and outdoor vents clean and clear of debris. Dust or vacuum your indoor vents and registers regularly. For the outdoor unit, ensure leaves or snow don’t block the exterior furnace vent, as this can cause the furnace to shut off prematurely.
Change Thermostat Batteries
At the start of each heating season, replace your thermostat batteries to avoid surprises, like waking up to a cold house because the thermostat stopped working. A programmable or smart thermostat can be especially helpful in maintaining consistent comfort.
Prepare Your Furnace for Winter
The above tips should be part of your pre-winter checklist. Additionally, scheduling a duct inspection and cleaning before the heating season starts is a simple yet effective way to help your system run efficiently.
