A gas furnace requires the skills of a professional technician for proper maintenance and repair.
It’s officially fall in St. Louis which means cooler temperatures! It also means winter is on its way. Therefore, you want your gas furnace ready to go so that when it starts getting chilly, it’s ready to warm your home and keep your family comfortable.
To ensure it’s running at peak performance levels during the cold winter months, there are some things you can do now:
- Change the Filter – Regular filter changes are the best way to make sure your equipment is running properly and that it’s keeping your air as clean as possible.
- Thermostat – Fall is often a roller coaster of temperatures. It may be chilly at night but warm during the day. You may find yourself adjusting your thermostat all the time. This can seriously impact your utility bill. Either stick to you programmed comfort schedule, or if you don’t have a programmable thermostat, set the temperature and try not to fidget with it.
- Leaves – If you have an air conditioner or heat pump, be sure to keep the outdoor unit free of leaves and debris to maintain proper airflow. Improper airflow can result in potential system breakdowns and decreased performance.
- Maintenance – The best way to ensure your gas furnace is ready for winter is to schedule regular maintenance visits.
