5 Ways to Extend Your Furnace's Lifespan
1. Routine Maintenance
- Annual Tune-Ups: Schedule inspections with an HVAC professional to tend to potential issues before they become breakdowns, perform cleanings and maintenance.
2. Regular Filter Changes
- Filter Checks: Monitor filter condition and replace when dirty. Usually every 1-3 months, or as needed. Select the best filter for your needs, balancing airflow and filtration efficiency.
3. Temperature Control
- Keep it consistent: Avoid extreme temperature swings. They can stress the furnace. Utilize a programmable thermostat and set a schedule. This on its own can significantly reduce the amount of wear and tear on your furnace.
4. Proper Ventilation
- Clear Vents: Ensure vents are unobstructed by removing any obstructions or debris from vents and ducts. As well as making sure that the registers are open and allowing the air to flow throughout your home or office.
5. Prompt Action when necessary
- Use Your Senses: Listen for strange sounds. Pay attention to odd odors. Watch your utility bills. Does it feel colder in your home than it should? Call Climate Control Systems if you are experiencing any issues.
Use your senses and save some dollars and cents. Take care of your furnace, it takes care of you.
