Furnace

• Like any other equipment, your furnace would age
  and would require replacement. It is proper
  furnace maintenance that would extend its life.
  Many times it happens that home owners purchase a
  whole new unit while the fact is that they only
  need a small repair or furnace maintenance. Here
  are a few important tips that you need to know

Replace Air Filter

• A very important aspect of the maintenance of
  your furnace is the air filter. It is important
  to replace and clean your air filter frequently.
  If it is a washable filter then you should wash
  it on a regular basis. If it is a disposable
  filter make sure you replace it depending on how
  quickly it gathers debris and dirt. The filter is
  very important since it makes sure that dirt
  wont enter the furnace. Therefore it is crucial
  that you regularly check the filter to see if it
  has accumulated dirt.

Test the thermostat

• Before the arrival of winters when it would
  become very cold outside, it is important that
  you check and ensure that your thermostat is
  working properly. You can set your thermostat to
  a warmer temperature and then wait for the
  furnace to start later on. For accurate analysis
  you should leave your furnace running to see if
  it reaches its desired temperature.

5
Clean the blower

• Most people are aware of cleaning and replacing
  the air filters regularly but it is also
  important to clean the blower as well. When the
  furnace works, some of the dirt and debris that
  filter stops makes its way through the blower
  system. The dirt and debris that can get
  collected here can create a lot of problems
  overtime. After removing the panels that cover
  the blower, wipe the blower and the pulleys with
  a damp cloth.

6
Clean the vents

• Furnace systems are connected to a venting
  system. This ventilation system can get blocked
  with passage of time. Large amounts of dust and
  debris can get collected at the ventilation
  system. Use a brush to clean all the vents or you
  can even use a vacuum cleaner.
