  • To make sure your system is running correctly, test your thermostat frequently. Turn it on and gradually increase the temperature setting until you hear your furnace start. If you don’t hear anything, consult our blog post on furnace repair for thermostat troubleshooting or give us a call.
  • Check your filters often and clean or change them when recommended. We can’t recommend this enough. It’s a an efficient way to increase the airflow through your furnace and preserve peak efficiency.
  • Keep all your vents and cool air returns clear of interference. This includes keeping the ventilation outside of your home clear.
