Before you turn your heater on, you have some fall maintenance tasks to complete. In fact, it’s a good idea to complete these tasks continually throughout the fall and winter season in order to keep your furnace in the best shape possible.
And if you do notice anything out of the ordinary during your regular maintenance steps, you can give our team a call for furnace repair and Puyallup, WA. Keep reading to learn more about the maintenance steps that can benefit your furnace this year and every year in the future.
Change the Filter
Maybe you forgot to change your air filter at the end of last season. If a dirty air filter is still in place, it is important to change it out with a new, clean air filter. If there’s too much dust and dirt in the air filter, I can block airflow into your furnace. That’s not a great way to start the heating season.
We also encourage you to set a reminder to change the air filter out each month on time for the best heating efficiency. If your filter gets too clogged up with dust and dirt, your furnace will work harder to heat your home, using more energy and ultimately increasing your utility costs.
