1. Prepare Your Furnace for the Fall and Winter It’s hard to think about winter being right around the corner since the beautiful fall weather has just arrived. So, why do you need to worry about your furnace? Before you know it, winter will be here and when it is, you will want your furnace to be up and running properly. Before you switch your HVAC system from cool to heat, you’ll need to keep these 3 things in mind. Turn on Your Thermostat Turn on Your Thermostat Pick a day during the September or October and switch the HVAC to heat. Set the thermostat 3-5 degrees higher than room temperature and listen for the heat to turn on. If it doesn’t turn on, make sure all wirings are secure. If everything is secure and the heat is still not turning on, call Bluflame to fix the problem. Change Your Furnace Filter Clean the Heat Exchanger Change Your Furnace Filter The average home without pets needs to change their furnace filter about every 90 days. If you have dogs or cats (or both), you will have to change the filter more often. With one animal, we suggest to change the filter about every 60 days and with more than one animal, about every 30-45 days. Changing your filters regularly will help keep the air in your home clean. Clean the Heat Exchanger This part in your furnace is a set of tubes or coils that are wired and looped inside your furnace to heat the air. The heat exchanger needs to be cleaned out yearly by a professional. The fall also a good time to clear out any items you have stored around your furnace. The point of this is to avoid a fire in your home. You should also move anything that is sitting on or around your air ducts or vents to help the air flow process. Need a new furnace?
