How much money would you love to save as a homeowner this year? Well, at Lancaster Furnace & Air, we have great news for you. Saving time, money, and energy is as simple as checking off items on a list. Below are some of the main checklist items provided by our knowledgeable technicians. Keep in mind; a pre-winter furnace checklist is a helpful tool to ensure your furnace is in Five-Star shape this winter season.
- Check Your Furnace Air Filter- Checking your filter is a good maintenance check; this will help optimize your HVAC system and save you energy and money on your heating bills.
- Inspect Your Vents- Just as we check vents on our dryers, we should also be checking this for our furnace as well. Checking your vent will help you keep good airflow, allowing more heat with less energy usage throughout your home.
- Check Your Thermostat- Checking your thermostat will guarantee better performance. It is a good idea to confirm that the thermostat and HVAC system are working simultaneously.
- Clean Your Furnace- Keep this area clean and free of debris.
- Schedule Your HVAC Tune-Up & Inspection-. We get tune-ups on our cars so that we can ensure that it is running properly. Same with our furnace. If we want your furnace to work at its best, homeowners should keep up with yearly safety checks and tune-ups.
- Keep Your Home Clean– I know this may sound cliche to most homeowners, but our homes accumulate dust all the time and more frequently than we may think. Now is the perfect time to be sure all dust and dirt are out of your home.
- Inspect Electrical Wirings & Controls. Inspecting these elements in your home will ensure safety in your home.
Overall, if you can check off every item on our pre-winter furnace checklist and keep your residential furnace ready for the winter, as a homeowner, you can save thousands of dollars when it comes to your furnace just by keeping up with its maintenance checklist. Also, remember to keep this checklist in a safe place to use for many years to come.
