Home maintenance is an essential component of ensuring your furnace lasts as long as it should. Fortunately, most home maintenance tasks are straightforward and don’t monopolize your time. Blue Mountain Services offers in-depth yearly maintenance services, but we recommend periodic do-it-yourself tasks, such as:
Change the air filters once every 3 months. Your local hardware stores usually sell them. If not, contact Blue Mountain Services.
Clean around the furnace. Dust buildup can disrupt the heater, so it’s a good idea to sweep or dust around the indoor furnace regularly.
Keep debris and objects at least two feet from the outdoor unit. Doing so will ensure there’s enough airflow.
