7 Tips To Optimize Furnace Performance

7 Tips to Optimize Furnace Performance will help you reduce energy waste, increase your equipment’s life span, and save you money.

Similar to your car, your furnace is subject to wear and tear. As the temperature drops, we use our furnace more often. The last thing you want is to come home to a cold and frigid house!

Take time to review these tips to ensure your furnace is working properly before the cold spell hits.

7 Tips to Optimize Furnace Performance: Replace The Filter

In addition to affecting air quality, a dirty filter forces your blower fan to work harder, reducing its performance and increasing your utility bills. Replace your filter to keep your furnace – and your family – healthy.

Optimize Your Furnace With An Inspection

Postponing a furnace inspection and tune-up is like avoiding the doctor for years, preventing you from discovering health issues until it’s too late. Be proactive and call us for an inspection.

Regular maintenance keeps your furnace running properly and repairs to a minimum.

7 Tips to Optimize Furnace Performance: Open All Registers

In order to work efficiently, a furnace needs to freely circulate air around your home. In addition, be sure your registers are open and not blocked by furniture or have trapped dust in the cover.

Utilize A Humidifier For An Optimized Furnace

Here in the Ohio Valley, we tend to be susceptible to allergies; especially in the winter when our homes are beset with dry air.

When you utilize a humidifier, it can improve your health by preventing asthma and allergy attacks. Plus, it keeps your wood floors and furniture from cracking.

To avoid that feeling of being colder than you really are, raise your humidity level to about 40% which will help transfer heat better.

7 Tips to Optimize Furnace Performance: Optimize Your Furnace With More Space

Your furnace (and the exhaust vent) needs ample space around it for proper performance. Therefore, we recommend your furnace be at least 30 inches away from the walls.

Blocking the vent or preventing enough oxygen from getting into your furnace causes carbon monoxide to build up, which can be fatal.

Smart Controls Optimize Your Furnace

Smart controls ensure you get the right temperature while utilizing the right amount of energy.

Upgrading to smart controls will increase efficiency and potentially lower your utility bill.

Optimize Your Furnace With An Upgrade

If your furnace is nearing the end of its life span, consider an upgrade to a more efficient system. You’ll enjoy lower energy consumption and increased comfort for your family.
