Furnace Time In Salt Lake City
October 6th, 2007 Categories: Salt Lake City
It is that time of year again. Cold damp and the furnaces are coming on.
Change or clean your furnace filter
When was the last time you changed or cleaned your furnace filter? Failing to check the filter regularly can be costly: dust and dirt can work their way into the blower and coil assemblies, reducing the furnace’s operating efficiency and eventually damaging the motor.
In fact, heating technician say more than half their service calls are caused by simple dust and dirt clogging up vital motor parts!
Most dealers recommended changing disposable filters once a month, or cleaning reusable filters every other month.
Clear outdoor exhaust vents
During the winter, be sure to clear snow and ice away from the intake and exhaust vents outdoors. If the vents become blocked, dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can back up into the house, and the furnace could shut down.
Schedule an annual tune-up
An annual checkup by a service technician is also a good idea – especially if you have a natural gas system. The technician will check the flues and temperature settings, examine the heat exchanger for cracks, and check the safety mechanisms.
A $50-$100 annual tune-up can reduce your heating costs by five percent – and it’s the best prevention against deadly carbon monoxide poisoning.
