Show your HVAC system love

Your furnace provides the heat and comfort needed to make it through the cold winter months. So, how do you show it some love in return?

1. Change the air filter regularly:

The air filter is one of the most critical components of your furnace. It prevents dust and other airborne particles from entering the system and clogging it up. To keep your furnace running as efficiently as possible, you should change the air filter at least once every three months. This not only helps keep the air clean but also helps your furnace run more efficiently, which can lead to lower energy bills.

2. Schedule a yearly inspection:

Regularly inspecting your furnace is essential to ensure it’s running as efficiently as possible. During an inspection, an HVAC technician will check for any potential problems and make any necessary repairs. This can help you avoid costly repairs in the future and keep your furnace running as smoothly as possible.

3. Clean the area around the furnace:

Cleaning the area around your furnace is important to keep it running smoothly. Make sure to keep any flammable items away from the furnace and vacuum around it regularly to keep dust and debris from getting inside.

4. Make sure the vents are clear:

Your furnace needs to have clear vents to function correctly. Make sure to check the vents regularly and clear away any debris that might be blocking them. This can help ensure that your furnace gets the proper air for efficient operation.

5. Keep up with maintenance:

The best way to ensure your furnace is running efficiently and safely is to keep up with regular maintenance. This can include simple tasks like changing the air filter (as mentioned above, and you can do it yourself!) or more in-depth tasks such as inspecting the system for any potential problems. Regular maintenance can help you avoid costly repairs and keep your furnace running smoothly. Are you in San Bernardino or the Inland Empire? Get a furnace tune-up from the experts at Ballard!
