5 Tips to Keep Your Furnace Running Properly

One of the most important major appliances in your home is your furnace. You can’t go without heat during the chilly winter months! It’s essential to have your HVAC unit looked at regularly to get ahead of any issues that may occur before they get out of hand. Let’s take a look at five tips that will help you identify any problem you may have with your furnace.

1. Regular Maintenance is Important

A professional HVAC company will catch the minor problems before they turn into bigger, more expensive ones. Yearly maintenance from a professional will save you costly repairs in the long run when they can fix a small problem quickly.

2. Replace the Filters

If you didn’t realize you had to replace your furnace filters, you do now! To allow your furnace to run efficiently, add a new filter into place every six months to a year. A professional HVAC company can recommend the best filter for your model.

3. Check the Thermostat

Your thermostat may be giving you a problem you aren’t even aware of. Let a professional give your thermostat the once-over to make sure there are no wiring concerns.

4. Look for Mechanical Wear

Wear and tear is a common issue for older furnaces. Your furnace works hard during the colder months, so wear and tear over the years can cause it to start working less efficiently over time. You’ll also want to check out the pilot control before you start your furnace for the season. If the pilot light is out, you will want a professional to turn it back on safely and properly.

5. Watch the Air Flow

HVAC units often get backed up or clogged, which causes issues with airflow. A professional can check the pipes and ductwork to see if it needs to be cleaned. Afterward, the furnace will blow stronger, cleaner air to all of the rooms in your home.
