Tips for Furnace Maintenance
As the days get shorter and the nights get colder, your furnace will become one of the most important pieces of equipment in your home. Often it hasn’t been turned on in months. Problems with your furnace could have gone unnoticed for months, and now the heat isn’t working when you need it. This can be a stressful situation for anyone, but at Advantage Air HVAC, we are here to help.
Our trained team of expert professionals specializes in every kind of furnace there is. We can assess the issues with your furnace and get it repaired or replaced in record time. Each member of our team is certified, and we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so no matter when a problem happens, we’ll be there to fix it.
Regular furnace maintenance can make the difference between a minor repair and an expensive replacement. There are a few things that you can do to keep your furnace running smoothly and head off any problems before they develop.
- Turn your furnace on periodically. Even in the warm months of the year, running your furnace just long enough to produce a little heat can make a world of difference. This burns away the dust that can collect on the unit, which can cause long-term problems.
- Clean your ducts and vents. The dust and grime built up in vents and intake ducts can cause all sorts of issues for your furnace. Keeping your filters up to date and cleaning them out is the best practice.
- Regularly scheduled maintenance. Have an expert come and look at your furnace once a year just to make sure everything is in good working order.
- Don’t skip small repairs. It can be very tempting to ignore small troubles because they don’t seem to be a big deal, but even the smallest issue can become a big problem. Our experts are always on hand to help with repairs so you can rest easy knowing your furnace is in tip-top shape.
If you keep those four tips in mind, then you should be able to enjoy your furnace for years. But if something should go wrong, our experts would be happy to assist you in installing a new unit. We even offer the option to add a geothermal heating and cooling system to your home that can reduce your energy consumption by up to 50%.
