How to Maintain Your Furnace’s Efficiency

Hopefully you’ve already scheduled your heating system maintenance as we approach the cooler months! Even with regular tune-ups from the pros at E.T. Lawson we recommend homeowners performing some basic maintenance on the furnace in order to help keep it efficient and operational.

 

Here are a few ways you can help keep your furnace in proper condition:

 

• Take time to clean the furnace. Dirt and debris can accumulate on the equipment as it sits dormant, and this can negatively impact the airflow and efficiency of the system. Wiping down the exterior of the furnace with a damp cloth and using a vacuum to clean accessible areas are enough to make a difference!
  
  

• Changing the air filters will also help to improve airflow, which prevents it from being overworked and causing heating and repair costs to rise as the efficiency decreases and wear and tear increases.
  
  

• While there are tasks you can perform to help with maintenance, a professional tune-up is irreplaceable! Schedule equipment maintenance with a local heating service company to further boost efficiency and reliability of the equipment.
  
  

Another thing to keep in mind this winter is your storage tank. Keeping it full is vital to your comfort! So sign up for automatic Ultra Heating Oil deliveries, and consider our tank protection service. Call or contact us online to learn more.
