The best way to keep your house warm and comfortable during the cold season is by making sure your furnace is in great working condition. A furnace that is running efficiently not only increases your comfort but also minimizes your utility bills. In addition, a properly maintained furnace is less likely to require frequent repairs.
Many people fail to upkeep proper maintenance until they require their heating equipment to be fixed. All you have to do is follow a few easy-to-perform steps to ensure your furnace is properly maintained.
One of the simplest yet essential ways to maintain the furnace is by changing the filter at the beginning of winter. You can do that by following your furnace operating manual to get the right filter type and size, then determining the location of the filter, and changing it.
If your furnace is constantly shutting on and off, even after changing it, you should have an HVAC expert come and inspect it to ensure all components are okay and working up to the manufacturer’s standards.
Ensure you change the thermostat batteries at the start of every heating season. New batteries in your thermostat will help make sure you don’t wake up freezing is some cold morning because your thermostat is not working and it doesn’t trigger the furnace to start working.
Also, it is good to ensure you have a well-stocked stash of extra batteries. You don’t want to wake up sometime in the middle of the night freezing, the thermostat is dead, and you have to wait for the store to open since you don’t have the extra batteries at hand.
Your home furnace needs room to breathe. The furnace should be clear of debris and clutter up to 30 inches or even more according to the manufacturer’s specifications and most city standards. This usually allows enough air for usage for combustion of the heating and also smooth and safe operation. It also gives room for your HVAC specialist to inspect as well as service your system.
The furnace in your home is a mechanical system. Therefore, just like every mechanical system, with plenty of interacting motors, gas, and electrical components, it is vital to inspect it annually to make sure everything is in perfect working condition.
If it has been some time since your last maintenance, ensure you ask for a comprehensive safety inspection from your HVAC provider. It is important to sign up for an annual maintenance program since this will save you money and also ensure your maintenance is performed regularly.
