Furnace Cleaning and Some Tips
for Repairs
• To ensure that your furnace does not stop working when you need it the
most, you should spend some time doing some maintenance and repair. In
most cases, you need to check the air filter and ensure that it is in good
condition. Understand that directly air filters can cause all sorts of
problems. Therefore, it is important to clean it once a month even if you
do not perform thorough furnace cleaning.
• In addition to checking the filter, you should also check the thermostat
often. If your thermostat stops working fine, your furnace will no longer
produce sufficient heat. In many cases, you only need to fix the battery to
make your thermostat run again. There may be an issue with thermostat
setting if your furnace cycles too often. So, be sure to check it before going
for any costly repairs.
• When proceeding with furnace cleaning, you should consider check all the
components for performance. For instance, you should pay a close
attention to the power supply and circuit breaker. Your furnace will stop
working and you will get a blank screen when the circuit breaker has
tripped. The same may happen when you blow a fuse.
• Check all components and ensure that nothing is clogged. There may be
dirt and debris causing blockage. If there are clogged components, you will
experience pilot light and ignition control problems. It is a good idea to let
a professional take care of issues related to faulty electrical components or
clogged components. Nevertheless, you can handle the basic cleaning on
your own.
