Furnace Filters

Depending on the type of furnace you have and the different types of filters that you use, you may have to replace it anywhere from every couple of months to every year on average. Your furnace filters main job is to protect the blower fan in your furnace from dust and dirt that blows through your house. when you have an old filter in your furnace, it won't be as effective at protecting the fan as if you were to have a new one. Not only do you want to ask your furnace repair technician about what kind of filter you should use but you also want to ask them how often they recommend that you have it replaced. 

Tune Ups

Another thing you can talk to your furnace repair and installation professional about is furnace tune ups. Tune-ups are a great way for you to maintain your furnace so that it doesn't break down on you. During your tune up, your furnace repair technician will look at all of the fans, vents, and anything else to determine if anything needs to be changed. Ask your professional about how often they recommend that you get a furnace tune up so that you can plan on it. 

Signs To Look Out For 

The last thing that you want is to be stuck in the dead of winter without a heat source. While you have your technician there with you, ask them for signs to look for regarding your furnace needing to be repaired. For instance, a common sign that you need to have your furnace repaired is loud banging sounds coming from it or a smoky smell. 

Even though you just got a new furnace, it's still good to know things to look out for in regards to filters, tune-ups, and repairs. To learn more about how you can take better care of your furnace, contact a heating repair technician near you.
