Your furnace is a crucial part of keeping your home warm during the winter. Without your furnace, your house can become frigid and your pipes may burst. This is why proper maintenance is important. In this video, you will learn how to properly maintain a furnace.
The first thing that you can do for your furnace is replace the filter. Every furnace should have a filter that removes dust, hair, and pet dander.
However, it can become clogged over time. This can lead to worse air quality and more expensive heating bills. Thankfully, this is a simple fix. All you have to do is swap out the old filter with one of the exact same size. Next thing you know, the air will be better and the heater will be working more efficiently. It is recommended that you replace your filter at least once a year.
You should also have a furnace maintenance expert come out once a year before winter to inspect the furnace. They will make sure everything is working properly. They will also likely conduct a combustion efficiency test. This test will let you know how efficiently your furnace is working. Newer furnace can be as much as 97% efficient.
