1. Check and Replace Filters


One of the simplest yet most crucial tasks is checking and replacing your furnace filters. Over time, filters accumulate dust and debris, restricting airflow and putting extra strain on your system. A clean filter ensures optimal performance, energy efficiency, and improved indoor air quality.



2. Test Thermostat Batteries


A thermostat with low or failing batteries can lead to inaccurate temperature readings and operational issues. Take a moment to check and replace the batteries in your thermostat to ensure it communicates effectively with your furnace, maintaining a comfortable and consistent temperature in your home.


3. Inspect Vents and Ductwork


Blocked or closed vents can disrupt the airflow, causing uneven heating and potential damage to your furnace. Ensure that all vents are open and unobstructed. Additionally, inspect your ductwork for any signs of leaks or damage, as these issues can compromise your system's efficiency.


4. Clean Around the Furnace


Keep the area around your furnace clean and clutter-free. Remove any items stored nearby and ensure there's ample space for proper ventilation. This simple step can prevent overheating and reduce the risk of fire hazards.


5. Schedule Professional Maintenance


While these DIY checks are valuable, scheduling professional maintenance is essential for the long-term health of your furnace. Manning Mechanical offers comprehensive maintenance services to identify and address potential issues before they become major problems.
