As the crisp Montana air begins to settle in, it’s time to ensure your home is prepared for the upcoming winter. A well-maintained furnace is crucial for staying warm and comfortable during our colder months.
Why is Furnace Maintenance Important?
- Efficiency: Regular maintenance can improve your furnace’s efficiency, leading to lower energy bills.
- Longevity: Proper care can extend the lifespan of your furnace.
- Safety: A well-maintained furnace reduces the risk of carbon monoxide leaks and other safety hazards.
Here’s a quick checklist to help you prepare your furnace for winter:
- Filter Replacement: A dirty filter can restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. Replace it every quarter if you have pets, and every six months if there are no pets in the home.
- Visual Inspection: Check for any signs of damage, such as cracks or rust, on the exterior of your furnace.
- Carbon Monoxide Detector: Your detector should be working properly and located near the furnace.
- Professional Tune-Up: Call Superior Heating and Cooling – During our yearly tune-ups, we can identify and address potential issues before they become major problems.
