I’ve l acquired that dust is the enemy of the furnace.
- Whether the heating plan is operating or sitting idle, contaminants can work their way inside.
Dust, dander, lint, pollen and all kinds of pollutants settle and accumulate on the inner workings. They hinder the operation of moving parts and add to wear and tear. They restrict airflow through the plan and force longer running times. A buildup of dust can be the cause of diminished comfort, higher energy bills, malfunction and shortened repair life; Plus, every time the furnace starts up, it could be spreading allergens throughout the apartment and creating health issues, frequent upgradement of air filters is helpful. Air filters are designed to protect the furnace from contamination. A scrub air filter traps dust and other harmful toxins and prevents them from disrupting furnace performance. The best way to ensure a scrub and properly operating furnace is with professional service. I’ve signed up for a repair contract with a local Heating and Air Conditioning corporation. I get a iphone call from them in the fall, reminding me to schedule a tune-up. A licensed specialist then inspects, cleans and adjusts all components of the furnace. He verifies the condition of the heat exchanger, tightens electrical connections and lubricates moving parts. He tests the temperature control, ductwork and burner assembly. The repair is quick and yet restores the safety, sound levels, heating capacity and energy efficiency of the furnace. There is less chance of a malfunction and I can expect the heating system to last longer. Plus, the repair fulfills the stipulations of the warranty coverage.
