Remember to Inspect the Filter for the Furnace

In order to keep your home warm and comfortable, you will want to make sure that it is inspected on a regular basis. This allows us to inspect the furnace, ductwork, and other parts to ensure it is working efficiently. You will also want to have the filter checked. This is also something you can do regularly between visits. When the filter is clean and clear of any dust build up, it can help the furnace to run more efficiently and effectively when it operates. If you are not sure how often to inspect the filter, contact us and we can advise you on how often it should be cleaned and replaced.

If you notice a low rumble or grinding sound, it could indicate that the furnace is working harder than it should be. This can be caused by a clogged filter that results in poor air movement through the furnace and heater. It will then have to work longer to allow this air through. It can also cause more wear and tear to other parts of the heating system as well. Having a clogged filter will result in less heat being produced from the vents. If you notice that there is less heat being produced in your home, it could be from one of several reasons. Make sure to contact us so we can look at the filter and ductwork of the heating system. A clogged filter will not be able to let the proper amount of air through. The ductwork could also be clogged with dirt or debris.

Another reason to have the filter cleaned is to improve the air quality in your home. Dirt and dust could get into the furnace and then be distributed throughout your home. This could result in asthma or allergy symptoms over time. If you or a family member suffers from asthma or allergies already, having good quality air will help breathing. To help decrease the chance of poor air, make sure to replace the filter. It is also recommended to never run the heating system without a filter. This could result in damages to parts of the furnace, as well as a costly repair bill. Make sure to contact us so we can inspect the furnace. This will help you to have a pleasant home to be in.
