Your home’s furnace
does an exhaustive job of keeping your family warm all night and all
day, so it should be perfectly understandable that, if left
unattended for long periods, it could get worn out. As a
precautionary measure though, there are a few things that you can
do to ensure the longevity of your furnace.
Cleaning Filters
It might not be much to
think about at first glance, but a dirty air furnace isn’t just a
filthy thing to have in your house; it can also cause all sorts of
performance or air quality problems for your heater. This is why it’s
always important to clean or change your filters whenever necessary
(whichever one is best based on manufacturer instructions).
Get a Tune-Up
Have a professional
heating repair and maintenance professional tune up your heater now
and then, especially before and after storage or non-use for a long
period of time. Getting professional help should also allow you to
learn how to efficiently troubleshoot any possible problems and keep
them from occurring in the first place.
Clear Exhaust Pipes
Your furnace’s
exhaust pipes deliver air outside from inside your home through vents
that you might find very close to the ground. This location makes
them susceptible to being blocked, thus causing your heater to get
worn down rather quickly. Always make sure that nothing blocks your
exhaust vents.
