How to Increase Your Furnace's Longevity
The best way to avoid a furnace failure and keep your furnace efficient and long-lasting is to conduct routine maintenance. Just like changing your vehicle's oil every 3,000 miles keeps your car in tip-top shape, so too does regular maintenance to keep your furnace running well. Here are some tips for maintaining your furnace.
- Arrange for annual inspection and tune-up from a licensed HVAC contractor. Do this in early fall before winter arrives, so your system is ready to go when the temperature drops.
- Change the filter regularly. Depending on usage and whether you have pets, you might change the filter every month for the best results.
- Put in a carbon monoxide filter to ensure the safety of your family.
- Inspect the furnace ducts for leaks and seal them if needed.
- Make sure the blower is free from obstructions.

Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair
To avoid catastrophic failure, it's best to note any special operation with your furnace and repair it now before it gets worse. Watch out for these signs of a failing furnace.
- Short Cycling: If your furnace runs about three minutes or less before shutting off, it's called short cycling, and it's a problem not to ignore.
- Irregular Flame: Look at the burners on your furnace and see if the flames are even. If not, it could be that the burners are dirty or you have a cracked heat exchanger. Call for help right away if you notice this problem.
- Odd Noises: Any rumbling, squealing, or popping noises are cause for concern.
- Lack of Heat: If your furnace fails to give you the amount of heat you're used to, it could be coming to the end of its life.
Call Anderson Heating, Cooling & Plumbing if you notice any of the above symptoms or anything else odd with your furnace.
