No matter who you ask in the HVAC industry, every HVAC professional and manufacturer will agree HVAC maintenance is a must do for homeowners to get their heating systems ready for the cold months ahead.

Are There Any DIY Furnace Maintenance Tips?
We’re glad you asked.
There are several DIY steps homeowners can take now to make sure their heating systems are ready when needed:
- Clean or replace your air filter at least once every 60 days during seasons of heavy use, and more often if any occupants have allergy or respiratory issues.
- Inspect heating system exhaust outlets, such as your chimney or vent stack. Be sure there are no leaks, evidence of corrosion or back drafts. Any exhaust issues could cause a build of carbon monoxide inside your home, causing illnesses or even death.
- Make sure your thermostat is functioning properly as per the settings you desire. Upgrading to a programmable thermostat can further save on heating costs.
