Tips for Keeping Your Heating System in Tip-Top Shape:
Change Your Filters Regularly
Your furnace filter plays a huge role when it comes to the performance and longevity of your heating system. We recommend performing quarterly checks on your furnace to ensure it’s operating efficiently. Typically, filters should be replaced twice a year. However, if your household activities generate more dust or pet dander, consider more frequent changes for optimal air quality.
Maintain a Clear Furnace Area
To ensure the safety and efficiency of your heating systems, keep the area surrounding your furnace clean and free of obstructions. Never store combustible materials, like paint thinners or gasoline, near your furnace and maintain a six-inch clearance around your vent pipe. This practice will help prevent fire hazards and allow your furnace to function properly.
Call the Experts for Annual Maintenance
Annual professional maintenance is key to keeping your furnace in top condition. Skilled technicians can perform essential services such as motor lubrication and component checks to ensure seamless operation. When you contact local experts for furnace repair in Kamloops, they will thoroughly inspect critical parts, including the motors, control boards, and heat exchangers, safeguarding your comfort before the winter chill arrives.
Keep Registers Open
To ensure optimal airflow in your home, it is best to keep at least 80% of your home’s registers and vent covers open. Closing too many can lead to increased resistance and unsafe heat buildup in the furnace, compromising your heating system’s efficiency.
Schedule Regular Boiler Service
Routine boiler maintenance is a non-negotiable aspect of home upkeep in Kamloops. Regular checks prevent serious issues, including risks of carbon monoxide poisoning. Schedule service before the onset of winter when HVAC technicians are in high demand, making sure your system is ready when temperatures drop.
Add a Corrosion Inhibitor
Enhance the lifespan and efficiency of your boiler or geothermal heating system by using a corrosion inhibitor. This simple addition improves functionality and ensures your system continues to deliver the warmth you need during harsh winters.
