INSPECT AND CLEAN DUCTS TO PREVENT CLOGS AND LEAKS.
Because dirt and dust are bad, you’ll want to see if they’re hanging out in the furnace ducts also. Especially if you have a gas furnace, which forces the air out of the furnace. To clean this you can use a high-powered vacuum cleaner with a long extension. Once you’ve finished cleaning, Also, check the ducts to make sure they’re properly sealed and connected. If the ducts look damaged, or you’re concerned, contact Green Apple Plumbing & Mechanical NJ as soon as possible.
SIGNS YOUR FURNACE NEEDS MAINTENANCE
If you have an old furnace or a brand new furnace, you should always create a routine check to help prevent dust build-up and future maintenance issues. And, if you’re still not sure what you should be looking for, here are those signs we told you about:
- Strange noises (banging, rumbling, hissing)
- The constant increase in your energy bills
- Improper burning pilot flame (should be a strong blue flame, NOT an orange or yellow flame)
- Trouble starting
- Starting and stopping
- Age (furnaces have an average lifespan of about 12-15 years, so after a certain age you’ll expect malfunctions, but stay alert)
