Tips on Furnaces

  • You should change your disposable filters on a regular schedule. We recommend checking them monthly and changing them every 2-3 months depending on the activity in your home.

  • Keep the area around your furnace clean and unobstructed.

  • Keep the burner area of your furnace clean.

  • Furnaces that require lubrication on the motors and bearings should be attended to by a qualified heating technician once a year.

  • Do not have anything combustible within six inches of your vent pipe.

  • Do not close off more than 20% of the registers in your house. This can cause high resistance and unnecessary heat build up in the furnace.

  • Do not store combustible material such as paint thinners, gasoline, etc. near your furnace.
