MAINTENANCE TIPS TO AVOID
COSTLY FURNACE REPAIR
• CLEAN THE BLOWER CAREFULLY. YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE IT FIRST FOR WHICH YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE
BOLTS. IN MOST CASES, YOU WILL HAVE TO USE A RATCHET TO HELP REMOVE THE BOLTS. AGAIN, IF YOU DO NOT
HAVE THE TOOLS REQUIRED FOR CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE, IT IS BETTER TO HIRE A FURNACE REPAIR
SPECIALIST.
• REPLACE THE FURNACE FILTER. IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHANGE THE FILTER PERIODICALLY OR ELSE THE FURNACE
WILL NOT FUNCTION AS EFFICIENTLY AS IT SHOULD BE. IDEALLY, YOU SHOULD CHANGE IT EVERY 1-3 MONTHS. A
HIGH-QUALITY FILTER WILL ALSO HELP PROTECT THE BLOWER MOTOR AND THE BLOWER ITSELF. YOU CAN ALSO
FIND MORE EXPENSIVE FILTERS THESE DAYS, BUT BE SURE TO REFER TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL BEFORE YOU
SELECT ANYTHING BECAUSE SOME HIGH-EFFICIENT FILTERS ARE KNOWN FOR RESTRICTING THE AIRFLOW THAT
PUTS UNNECESSARY STRAIN ON THE BLOWER MOTOR.
