Autumn is
in the air. The leaves are falling, the temperature is dropping, and
pumpkin-flavored food and beverages are everywhere. When the weather
gets cold, there is almost nothing more important than your home's
furnace. Use these tips to protect your heating system from
breakdowns and keep it running efficiently for years to come.
Change your air filter.
When
was the last time (if ever) that you changed the air filter on your
furnace? Most models require their filter to be replaced or cleaned
every couple of months, but few people are aware of this. A clean
filter helps reduce energy costs and improve your air quality, refer
to your owner's manual for instructions.
Get a professional tune up.
Now is
a good time of the year to call in a professional HVAC service for a
heating system tune up. The technician should clean, lubricate, and
test the various components of your furnace. This will not only help
to heat your home more efficiently, it can prevent future breakdowns
and extend your unit's lifespan.
Invest in a humidifier.
Humidity
has a bad reputation, but it is actually very important during this
time of the year. When the temperature drops, humidity levels fall
until the air becomes uncomfortably dry, and our heating systems only
make things worse. A humidifier can help make your home feel warmer,
and prevent your nose, throat, and eyes from drying out.
Have your air ducts cleaned.
The
average three-bedroom home generates more than 40 pounds of dust in a
year, much of which collects in your air ducts. This can not only
affect those with allergies, it hurts the efficiency of your HVAC
system. Having your air ducts professionally cleaned offers many
benefits, learn about them here.
