How to Properly Maintain Your Furnace

One of the best ways to keep your furnace working correctly all winter is to perform regular maintenance tasks. These can include:

  • Schedule a yearly inspection with a professional in the late spring or early fall.
  • Change the filter at least every three months.
  • Install a carbon monoxide monitor. This should be inspected by a professional during your annual tune-up.
  • Have a heating contractor inspect your furnace ducts to ensure they are sealed properly.
  • Check the blower for any obstructions. If needed, apply lubrication.
  • Inspect the inside of the furnace chamber for defects that could include rust, holes, and separated seams.
  • Clean the burners with fresh water to remove dust and dirt.
  • Clean the sensor and pilot with a wire brush and emery cloth.
  • Check the “high limit” to prevent overheating.
  • Check the gas meter to monitor the rate of fuel usage.
  • Clean the area around the furnace to keep it free from debris.

Signs You Need Furnace Repair

To avoid being left in a cold house this winter when your unit malfunctions, it’s important to schedule repairs on your unit at the first signs of a problem. If you notice the following issues you should schedule an appointment with the pros:

  • Short cycling: If your system runs for less than three minutes before turning off, it can indicate a malfunctioning heat exchanger or a broken thermostat.
  • Irregular flames: If the flames are uneven or lean toward the back of the furnace it can indicate a cracked heat exchanger, which can lead to serious problems. If you notice this, you should call a professional immediately.
  • Unusual sounds: If you hear rumbling, popping, or whistling coming from the unit it can indicate a number of issues that should be inspected by a professional.
  • Cracked heat exchanger: This can lead to a serious issue like a carbon monoxide leak. This should be inspected by a professional as soon as possible as it can cause serious health issues for your household. If you suspect you have a leak you should evacuate your property and then seek professional help.
