Your Complete Guide to Furnace Maintenance Tips(http://www.houkac.com/category/your­complete­guide­to­furnace­maintenance­tips/)Posted on March 19, 2015 (http://www.houkac.com/category/your­complete­guide­to­furnace­maintenance­tips/) byPrasoon Gupta (http://www.houkac.com/category/author/prasoon/)

On come to think of it, what is the basic purpose of systematic furnace maintenance?(http://www.houkac.com/coppell­furnace­service/)The answer to this lies in its effectiveoperation. When a heating system doesn’t work at its highest efficiency, you need to checkthe three components in a heating system namely –

1. Heat source2. Thermostat3. Circulation system

If there is some issue in the heat source, your furnace will not run in the first place. Loss ofpower or fuel not reaching unit or failure of gas or oil to ignite could be the most plausiblereasons for non­functioning of the heat source.

However, if the furnace does turn on but the warm air does not circulate in the entire room,there may be some difficulty in the blower.

In the third scenario, if there is some defect in the thermostat, it will stop the heating systemfrom turning on.

Initial Steps in Furnace Service                         

Since you will use furnace in winter or late fall, your first and foremost step should be to keepthe pilot light off during spring and summer months. During this downtime, you can call alicensed HVAC contractor for requisite furnace maintenance. This will keep your unit primedduring the ‘peak’ season.

Precautions to Be Kept in Mind

Before initiating, ensure that the heating unit is receiving optimum power. For this, check forfuses and circuit breakers. A fuse might be blown and a circuit breaker might be tripped at themain panel.

Once you have checked its functioning ability, turn off the power before working on it. Removethe fuse (it regulates the furnace) which is located at the main electrical panel. If you see thatthe circuit trips repeatedly, while turning on the furnace, call a furnace repair specialist.(http://www.houkac.com/southlake­furnace­service/)

Make sure that you call only a licensed HVAC technician as he will be able to address anymaintenance concerns or handle any repairs you may need. So, if you are unsure as to whatto do and from where to start it all, have a professional do the dirty work on your behalf. Areyou worried about the costs? Yes, it may cost you some but not the one that you may have topay if you further complicates thing by trying the repairs yourself.
