It's time for furnace maintenance

It's time for furnace maintenance

With cold weather rapidly approaching, it's a good idea to inspect your home heating system to make sure that it's safe and in peak operating condition.

Ideally, the furnace should be inspected by a heating professional at least once annually just before its initial start-up for the season. Many heating companies offer annual maintenance contracts, which accompany the purchase of a new furnace.

This service also is available for older furnaces, which often tend to require a bit more maintenance. Even if you do your own annual maintenance, the system should be inspected by a heating professional every three to five years.

The first step in a furnace tune-up is filter replacement. Always be sure that the power is turned off to the unit before attempting repairs. The filter acts to protect the blower from airborne dust and dirt that would otherwise damage the motor.
