The heating season definitely taxes your furnace and your finances. Well, I have some tips to help keep you running efficiently to save money and keep you comfortable throughout the season.
Keep the area around your furnace clear of clutter and vacuum the room frequently to keep the unit running at its peak.
Turn the unit off before you start the clean up. Each month or so, vacuum the furnace grille and fans. This will increase efficiency and airflow. When all the dust is gone wipe down dirty surfaces with a damp cloth.
If you do nothing else with your furnace, change the filter every month. If anyone in your house has allergies, try folded filters to cut down on allergens circulating through your house. You can also get filters that fit in the grates in each room to cut down on the dust.
Another tip, if you would like to spread fresh scents throughout your house, pick up a scented insert to use with your filter.
