There are many easy things you can do in between expert tune-ups to increase the efficiency of your furnace and keep it functioning in peak shape. Try these furnace maintenance tips:

  • Yes, we’ve said it before, but we can’t stress this enough: check your filters regularly and clean or change them when recommended. This is such a easy way to improve the airflow through your furnace and preserve maximum efficiency.
  • Keep all your vents and cool air returns clear of blockages. This comprises of keeping any ventilation outside of your home clear.
  • Test your thermostat frequently to ensure it’s operating correctly. Merely turn it on and gradually increase the temperature setting until you notice your furnace turn on. If it doesn’t turn on, refer to our blog post on furnace repair for more thermostat tips, or give us a call.
  • If you see dust accumulating around your cool air returns or a lot of debris within your ducts, think about having your ducts professionally cleaned. To learn more about duct cleaning and how to determine if it’s time to hire someone, go to our blog on duct cleaning.
