There are plenty of simple things you can do in between professional maintenance to increase the efficiency of your furnace and keep it running 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 regularly and clean or change them when suggested. This is such a straightforward way to enhance the airflow through your furnace and preserve peak efficiency.
- Keep all your vents and cool air returns clear of barriers. This includes keeping any ventilation around your home clear.
- Test your thermostat regularly to ensure it’s working appropriately. Just turn it on and gently raise the temperature setting until you catch your furnace turn on. If it doesn’t turn on, look back to our blog post on furnace repair for extra thermostat tips, or give us a call.
- If you notice dust accumulating around your cool air returns or a great deal of dust within your ducts, think about having your ducts professionally cleaned. To hear more about duct cleaning and how to determine if it’s time to hire someone, go to our blog on duct cleaning.
