With the transistion from summer to autumn
complete, thoughts of cold winter nights appear on the horizon.
Right now is a great time to check and perform
routine maintenance on those furnaces that have been hibernating for the past
six months.
Before kicking that thermostat up, a few easy steps
can save you money as well as make your system more energy
efficient.
CLEAN THAT FILTER: A clogged furnace filter
impedes air flow and makes your system work harder than it should. You can
easily clean your filter with your VacuMaid central vacuum.
CHECK AND CLEAN THE COLD AIR INTAKE: In order for
your furnace to work efficiently, the air circulation in the entire venting
system can't be restricted. Find the cold air intake for your system and vacuum
out any dust and lint build-up and reduce your energy bills at the same time.
Your VacuMaid central vacuum is a great tool to handle this cleaning
process.
CLEAN AROUND YOUR FURNACE: Before you fire up that
pilot light, make sure there are no combustible materials near your furnace.
Use your VacuMaid central vacuum to clean any dust and dirt from around your
furnace.
If your furnace doesn't function properly, always
consult a professional HVAC technician in your area.
BE WARM and as always BE SAFE!!
