  • Yes, we’ve said it before, but we can’t stress this enough: check your filters often and clean or replace them when recommended. This is such a simple way to enhance the airflow through your furnace and preserve top efficiency.
  • Keep all your vents and cool air returns clear of blockages. This comprises of keeping any ventilation outside of your home clear.
  • Test your thermostat frequently to confirm that it’s functioning properly. Merely turn it on and slowly raise the temperature setting until you notice your furnace turn on. If it doesn’t turn on, check back to our blog post on furnace repair for more thermostat tips, or give us a call.
