Cleaning your furnace at least once a year is advised, ideally, before the heating season begins in the fall. Regular furnace maintenance, including cleaning, contributes to peak performance, energy efficiency, and safety. Dust, debris, and grime can build up on components such as burners, heat exchangers, and air filters, thereby reducing efficiency and creating additional wear. A clean furnace runs more efficiently, consuming less energy and avoiding potential problems. However, if you observe significant dust buildup or decreased efficiency, you may need to clean more frequently. For precise cleaning instructions appropriate to your system, see your furnace's manual or a skilled HVAC expert.
During a furnace tune-up, an HVAC technician performs a series of tasks designed to assess, clean, and fine-tune various components of the furnace. This includes inspecting the entire system for wear and damage, cleaning crucial components like burners and heat exchangers, checking the thermostat's accuracy, testing ignition systems, inspecting gas connections for leaks, evaluating the flue and venting system, replacing or cleaning air filters, lubricating moving parts, and verifying safety controls. The goal is to identify potential issues, enhance energy efficiency, extend the furnace's lifespan, and ensure that the system operates safely and reliably when needed. Conducting an annual furnace tune-up before the heating season starts is recommended to maintain optimal heating performance and prevent potential problems.
During the heating season, it's advisable to replace air filters every 1-3 months, depending on the filter type, indoor air quality, and system usage. Regular filter replacement ensures efficient airflow, optimal heating performance, and improved indoor air quality by trapping dust, allergens, and pollutants. Neglecting filter changes can lead to reduced system efficiency, increased energy consumption, and potential damage to HVAC components.
High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters are advised for allergy sufferers. By capturing microscopic particles such as mold spores, dust mites, pet dander, and pollen, HEPA filters enhance indoor air quality and lessen allergy symptoms. For efficient filtration, look for HEPA filters with a MERV rating of 17–20. It's essential to replace filters on a regular basis to preserve optimal performance and reduce allergy triggers in the house.
