Things Homeowners Need To Know About Furnace

If cold temperatures are settling in your area, then you will have to turn your furnace on before you know it. The following are the top things every homeowner needs to know about their furnace.

• If you have a boiler or gas furnace, it typically needs to be replaced after 15 to 20 years. At Shaul’s Plumbing and Heating Ltd., we have a team that will help you find a system that you want and which will fit your budget. In choosing a furnace, take note of the efficiency ratings that are labelled as annual fuel utilization.
• Be sure to get copies of inspection reports of the furnace. If you are in your new home, contact the previous homeowners and ask about the report.
• Regular maintenance is 100 percent necessary to keep your system running efficiently. Keep the air filters clean and clear of any blockage. Regular inspections can help detect minor issues before they cause a big system failure, and can also help you save on heating bills.
•  Learn how to program and operate the thermostat. It’s the feature that determines how the furnace works. For further guidance, you need to work with a specialist. Contact us now.
• The smell of rotten egg, or metallic and electrical overheating, and the clanking, humming, and banging sounds that are coming from your furnace are not normal. These are the most likely signs of a larger issue. Call us for immediate action.
• Take a look at the air registers and exhaust pipes and clear any furniture that is if blocking them. As much as possible, clear the area around the furnace so the unit could breathe properly.
