Even though I hire an Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C professional to come service my Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C system twice per year, I still like to take care of my Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C system myself… I believe that it’s not enough to simply hire an Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C professional twice per year, because there are so several things that can happen in between those tune ups that need to be handled instantly, with the cooler weather approaching, I’ve been completing my own furnace repair checklist in order to ensure that my furnace is protected throughout the winter time season, but the first thing I do is vacuum my furnace.
If you’ve never done this before, it can sound strange, however, it keeps my component clean as well as free of debri that could cause concerns later on, but next, I replaced the air filter.
Typically, the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C professional will do this when they service the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C system, so I replace it a few months later. In doing so, my filter stays clean as well as the air can flow freely without causing stress to my furnace, however lastly, I go around as well as seal all holes within my ductwork. This takes a bit of time because I have to find the holes, however once I locate the escaping air, I seal the holes off with metal tape. With the holes sealed up, I’m able to keep my heated air inside my loft as well as increase the efficiency, then doing all of this keeps my furnace running at its optimal performance as well as I save money in the long run. I can’t believe all homes don’t do this.
