Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace my furnace filter?
The general rule of thumb is to replace your furnace filter every 1-3 months, depending on the type of filter and your household conditions. If you have pets, allergies, smoke, or live in a dusty area, you may need to change it more frequently to maintain clean air and efficient furnace operation. Regularly replacing your filter ensures your furnace works efficiently and helps extend its life.
What does a furnace check-up involve?
A furnace check-up involves a thorough inspection and cleaning of your heating system. Our technicians will check all components, including the blower, heat exchanger, and burners, as well as the thermostat and safety controls. They’ll also check the filter and test the system’s performance. This check-up ensures your furnace runs safely and efficiently and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Can I perform furnace maintenance myself?
You can take care of some simple tasks, like replacing filters and keeping the space around your furnace clean. But it’s best to let the experts handle more complex jobs. Annual check-ups, inspections, and adjustments need professional skills and tools to make sure your furnace is working safely and efficiently. Trying to do more technical work yourself can cause damage, create safety risks, and might even void the manufacturer's warranty.
How can regular maintenance improve efficiency and extend the life of my furnace?
Regular maintenance keeps your furnace running smoothly by making sure all parts are clean and working well. It can also help your furnace last longer. A furnace that is well-maintained doesn’t need to work as hard to heat your home, which makes it more energy efficient. Regular maintenance like changing the filter, cleaning the burners, and tuning the system can help lower your energy bills while keeping your furnace working its best. Yearly maintenance also helps protect your manufacturer’s warranty.
What are the signs that my furnace needs maintenance?
There are several signs that your furnace might need maintenance, including strange noises (like banging or rattling), odors beyond the first initial smell when turning your heat on, uneven heating, rising energy bills, short cycling, or if it’s struggling to maintain the set temperature. If you notice any of these issues, it’s a good idea to schedule an inspection before they lead to a bigger problem.
How far in advance should I schedule a furnace check-up?
We recommend scheduling your furnace check-up at least a few weeks in advance of cold weather hitting, especially during peak seasons like fall when many customers are preparing their systems for winter. Early scheduling ensures you get an appointment that works for you and helps avoid the rush when temperatures drop. You can book an appointment online through our website or give us a call at 1-800-FURNACE, and our customer service team will find a time that works best for you.
