5 Useful hacks to keep your furnace working properly that won’t break the bank!

The coldest time of the year is around the corner that is why today we would like to share essential information to keep your heating working correctly without spending much. Even if you are not a handyman, you can still make your furnace work at its best!

Furnace Air Filters

It is important to replace the air filters on a regular basis because they could get blocked, choking the air flow. Not replacing the air filter leads you to spend more money because of all the energy your heating system is using to be able to keep working.

Thermostat

This little device is responsible of setting the temperature in your home. To get a balanced climate at home, it is important to calibrate it regularly. Another thing you can do is to install a programmable thermostat, for you to control it.

Keeping distance

This is by far the most important advice we would like you to leave with today: keep things away from your furnace!
There is proof that having objects near the furnace causes fire, even more if they are flammable like kerosene, stacks of paper or clothes. Please remove anything near it to prevent accidents.

Sealing air leaks

Air leaks are more common to happen in the attic because the heat from the furnace rises up, and they could be the reason your heating stops working. Make sure to check your attic from any leaks every winter.

Pipe Insulation

Having a hard time getting air at a nice temperature? Your pipes might be having a problem. To receive heat without temperature loss you should insulate your pipes with foam pipe insulation.

Always remember that we are experts on heating systems, and we can help you to stay warm during the cold season by insulating your pipes, sealing air leaks, changing your thermostat or replacing your air filter.
