Ways To Keep Your Furnace Maintained
To keep your furnace running during the winter months, the technicians at our furnace service company recommend performing the following tasks:
- Schedule a yearly inspection with a professional in the late spring or early fall.
- Install a carbon monoxide monitor. This should be inspected by a professional during your annual tune-up.
- Inspect the inside of the unit’s chamber for defects that could include rust, holes, and separated seams.
- Clean the sensor and pilot with a wire brush and emery cloth.
- Change the filter at least every three months.
- Check the blower for any obstructions. If needed, apply lubrication.
- Clean the burners with fresh water to remove dust and dirt.
- Check the “high limit” to prevent overheating.
Common Furnace Issues That Require Repairs
When your furnace acts up, it’s essential to schedule routine repairs with an expert as soon as possible. Some of the most common issues our contractors encounter in the Tampa Bay Area are:
- If your system runs for less than three minutes before turning off, it can indicate a malfunctioning heat exchanger or a broken thermostat.
- If the flames are uneven or lean toward the back of the system it can indicate a cracked heat exchanger, which can lead to serious problems. If you notice this, you should call a professional immediately.
- 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.
- A cracked heat exchanger - which can lead to serious issues such as a carbon monoxide leak. Call immediately.
Ways To Save Money on Your Utility Bill
Running your furnace in the winter months can cause your energy bills to rise. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce these expenses. Our technicians recommend the following:
- Install a programmable thermostat. This will provide better climate control
- Perform regular maintenance on the system at least once a year.
- Open the curtains or shades to let sunlight in to add heat to your building.
