The Heart of Your Home: Furnace Installation
Installing a new furnace is a significant investment in your home’s comfort and efficiency. Here are some key points to consider:
- Sizing matters: A properly sized furnace ensures optimal performance and energy efficiency
- Fuel type: Choose between gas, electric, or oil furnaces based on availability and cost in your area
- Energy efficiency ratings: Look for high AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) ratings to save on energy bills
- Professional installation: Always rely on certified technicians for safe and proper installation
Keeping the Warmth Flowing: Regular Maintenance
Once your furnace is installed, regular maintenance is crucial to keep it running smoothly and efficiently. Here’s what you should know:
1. Annual tune-ups: Schedule a professional inspection before the heating season begins
2. Filter changes: Replace or clean filters monthly during heavy use periods
3. Thermostat checks: Ensure your thermostat is working correctly and consider upgrading to a programmable model
4. Keep vents clear: Ensure furniture and curtains don’t block air vents for optimal airflow
When Things Get Chilly: Furnace Repair
Even with proper maintenance, furnaces may occasionally need repairs. Common issues include:
– Unusual noises or odors
– Inconsistent heating
– Frequent cycling on and off
– Higher than normal energy bills
