There are lots of easy things you can do in between professional servicing to improve 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 emphasize this enough: check your filters often and clean or change them when suggested. This is such a straightforward way to increase the airflow through your furnace and maintain peak efficiency.
- Keep all your vents and cool air returns clear of blockages. This means keeping any ventilation out of your home clear.
- Test your thermostat frequently to confirm that it’s operating properly. Simply turn it on and gradually increase the temperature setting until you catch your furnace turn on. If it doesn’t turn on, check back to our blog post on furnace repair for more thermostat tips, or give us a call.
- If you notice dust accumulating around your cool air returns or a lot of debris within your ducts, consider having your ducts professionally cleaned. To hear more about duct cleaning and how to determine if it’s time to hire someone, check out our blog on duct cleaning.
