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.

John was professional, courteous, and very respectful of my home. He took the time to answer all my questions and gave me extra advice to help keep my furnace in top shape. I’ll definitely be recommending this company to others!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I had an emergency situation when my furnace died during freezing weather.  Martin and Phil, technicians from Able came out and did an amazing job installing both a new furnace and AC unit.  When they finished, the work area was spotless. They changed the old piping and made the furnace area much neater.  I would highly recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We just had Phil from Able air-conditioning and heating perform our maintenance on our heat pump and furnace.
He arrived within the service window, sending a text when he was 10 minutes out. Upon arrival he introduced himself, was very friendly and got right to work.
He clearly knew what he was doing, had all the right tools, worked efficiently and was able to easily answer the few questions I had.
He even added a little idea that we could add a bit of vinegar to the condensate pump once in a while to ensure everything continued to run smoothly.
Thank you Phil for the professional service.

Previous service:
Josh just performed our annual furnace/heat pump maintenance. He actually initiated the booking vs me having to call.
Highly skilled and a great communicator. Willing and “able” to answer all my questions.
He also noticed that our thermostat could be adjusted slightly to put a little more work on the heat pump vs furnace during morning startup. This will save us a little money on gas. Good catch. This adjustment is something only he could do.
He also had high end tools which allowed him to check the refrigerant without having to open the system up to attach gauges. This eliminated the risk of letting air into the line or releasing refrigerant. I think I got that previous sentence right. The key point here is that he has the most effective tools to do the job right.
We were already very impressed with the install team when the system was put in and now an excellent service call will continue our respect for this fine company.
