TIPS TO PREPARE YOUR FURNACE FOR THE FALL

Schedule Your Fall Furnace Tune-Up

Before you turn on your furnace for the season, it's best to get a tune-up from a professional HVAC service company, such as Atlantis Comfort Systems in Rhode Island. This will help to prevent breakdowns, discover any minor problems in your furnace and get them fixed before they become major issues, help discover any inefficiencies in the furnace system, and help prevent undue wear and tear on your furnace, helping to prolong its life. Professional furnace tune-ups include some of the following items:

Check the functionality of the heat exchanger
Test the burner
Check your thermostat
Lubricate moving parts
Replace your furnace filter
Inspect the entire unit for cracks or leaks
Take pressure readings to look for inefficiencies
Test the blower

Once completed, your furnace will be ready when the cold weather hits, and you won't have to worry about a thing.

Check Your Furnace Air Filters

Odds are, you will need to change your furnace air filters. Dirty air filters don't clean the air like it's supposed to, resulting in poor air quality. They force your furnace to work harder, leading to inefficiencies in the system and undue wear and tear, shortening its lifespan. Your home also may not heat as quickly. Furnace filters need to be changed on a regular basis throughout the cold months to ensure your furnace is running efficiently.

Clean Your Vents

Vents, especially those in the floor, can get dirty fairly quickly, and items can fall down them as well. Your return vents collect dust as well. It's a good idea to clean these regularly so air can flow unrestricted around your home or office space. You can also remove the vents, clean them, and vacuum any crud you see. While this does not replace a whole house duct cleaning job, it will help you keep the dirt and grime down in-between ductwork cleanings.

Ensure Your Vents are Unrestricted

If you have items blocking your vents, it's the same thing as having them closed. While this may be a good thing if you are not using a room in your home, in general, you want your air vents open so the warm air can circulate. Vents are laid out strategically in your home in order to heat and cool your home's spaces efficiently. Blocked vents won't heat the room effectively, resulting in an uncomfortable space.
