During
cold nights at Stony Plain, it’s not surprising that many people long to wrap
themselves with a comfy blanket while sipping a hot mug of their favourite
drink. Most home heating systems are centered on a furnace. Keeping it in good
shape should be every homeowner’s objective—especially if they want to avoid
being chilly at night. Here are a few tips on how to do just that:
- Regularly replace the air filter. Furnace
filters ensure that the air that flows into and out of the furnace is free
from dust, dirt, and lint, however, this means that these trapped
particles accumulate on the filter. A dirty filter can make it difficult
for air to freely leave and enter the furnace. Replacing or cleaning the
filter on a regular basis is a great way to ensure your furnace is doing
its job well.
- Annual maintenance visits from
professionals. You’ll want someone knowledgeable in your furnace’s
operation to look it over. This annual inspection can head off any
potential problems and can tune-up your furnace so that it can perform efficiently.
Cleaning can also be done since dirt buildup inside the furnace will cause
less-efficient heating.
- Schedule your maintenance checks before
peak seasons of usage, which is usually winter. This ensures your furnaces
are working properly and prepares them for the heavy use they will be
going through.
