Between professional tune-ups, there are plenty things you can do to ensure your furnace working at its peak performance. Try these maintenance ideas to keep your furnace on track:

  • To make sure your system is operating correctly, test your thermostat on a routine basis. Turn it on and bit by bit increase the temperature setting until you hear your furnace turn on. If you don’t hear anything, check out our blog post on furnace repair for thermostat troubleshooting or give us a call.
  • Check your filters often and clean or change them when recommended. We can’t stress this enough. It’s a a simple way to increase the airflow through your furnace and preserve peak efficiency.
  • Keep all your vents and cool air returns clear of interference. This includes keeping any ventilation outside of your home clear.
  • Think about having your air ducts professionally cleaned if you notice dust collecting around your cool air returns or noticeable debris in your ducts. To learn more about duct cleaning and the signs it’s time to hire someone, refer to our blog on duct cleaning.
