How to Maintain Your Home’s Heating System

The best thing you can do for your home’s heating system is to maintain it to help prevent issues as much as possible. Here at J Newton Cohen, we are passionate about helping homeowners keep themselves comfortable at home through HVAC maintenance services, so we’ve put together this short list of some of the most important home heating maintenance tips to follow.

• Replace air filters. Dirty air filters affect your heating system’s efficiency. When your heating system has to work harder to heat your home, it becomes more likely to break down prematurely. You can help prevent this problem by replacing your air filters regularly. Plus, changing out your air filters will improve your indoor air quality.

• Check in on your system. Be mindful of how dirty it is around your furnace. You should also make sure you are careful with what you store around your heating system. Paints and cleaners that contain chemicals can interact with your heating system and cause trouble with the rest of your home. Check in on the physical state of your system to make note of any problems.

• Address issues quickly. When your heating system isn’t working properly, act sooner rather than later. Doing so can help prevent small issues from getting larger. Your local HVAC repair technician is well-versed in a wide range of issues that can affect your heating system, and calling them as soon as you notice a problem is the best way to help extend the lifespan of your system.

If you want to make sure your heating system is working properly after you suspect a problem, we are here to help. For all of your heating system needs, be sure to give us a call.
