1. CLEAN OR REPLACE FILTER:
The easiest way to care for your heating system is to replace the filters. Depending on your system filters can be cleaned or replaced as often as every 3 months. This is also a preemptive strike for fall allergies.
2. CHECK BLOWER BELT:
Belts can dry and fray, just like in cars. Check your belts to see if they are worn or frayed, and add a drop of oil to your blower motor, as according to your owner’s manual.
3. MAKE SURE BLOWER DOORS ARE SEALED:
Blower doors ensure that combustion gasses produced by your heat system (especially carbon monoxide) exit your home safely without putting your family at risk. Carbon monoxide is called the “silent killer” because it is undetectable by humans alone.
4. CHECK TO SEE THAT VENT IN THE HOUSE ALLOW AIR TO FLOW:
If vents are not allowing air to flow, because of an obstruction or because of clogged filters, your HVAC system will need to work extra hard to heat all the areas of your home evenly. This leads to even higher energy bills and more headaches from an easily solved problem.
