Tips for Keeping Your Furnace Functioning Properly
1. Follow an annual maintenance routine. Consider it a “well-furnace” visit. By scheduling regular maintenance, you’ll extend the life of your furnace by a few years. Plus, you’ll be informed of any potential problems before an emergency occurs.
2. Have your airs ducts cleaned every few years. Keeping your air ducts free of dirt, dust and pet hair build-up will keep your furnace running in optimal condition. You’ll reduce the spread of germs in your home, too.
3. Let you furnace breathe. Is your furnace surrounded by clutter? If so, its time to organize and give it a little space. Clutter around your furnace can be unsafe and can cause the furnace to work harder.
4. Install and use a programmable thermostat. Scheduling when (days and times) you want your furnace to run spares the system from running nonstop. The scheduled programming also saves you energy, and ultimately, money.
