There are lots of straightforward things you can do in between professional tune-ups to improve the efficiency of your furnace and keep it operating 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 frequently and clean or replace them when suggested. This is such a straightforward way to improve the airflow through your furnace and preserve peak efficiency.
- Keep all your vents and cool air returns clear of obstructions. This includes keeping any ventilation around your home clear.
- Test your thermostat often to ensure it’s operating appropriately. Merely turn it on and gradually lift the temperature setting until you notice your furnace turn on. If it doesn’t turn on, look back to our blog post on furnace repair for more thermostat tips, or give us a call.
- If you observe dust accumulating around your cool air returns or a great deal of debris within your ducts, think about having your ducts professionally cleaned. To find out more about duct cleaning and how to decide if it’s time to hire someone, go to our blog on duct cleaning.
