Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions we receive about furnace maintenance include:
Can I clean my furnace myself?
Although you can change air filters yourself, it’s recommended to have annual professional maintenance on your system. This allows trained experts to check all the components and make any necessary adjustments to reduce the need for any future repairs and extend the life of your furnace.
What is included in furnace maintenance?
Furnace maintenance includes a system inspection, cleaning, and lubricating. Carbon monoxide levels will be checked — if you have an oil or gas furnace — flue venting, gas line conditions, flame sensor, blower motor, and safety shut-off.
The filters will be changed, the furnace cabinet will be cleaned of dust and debris, and the plenums will be cleaned.
When should I replace my furnace ignitor?
The average life span of a furnace ignitor is four to seven years. If your furnace is blowing cold air, short-cycles, or stops running, it may be a sign of a faulty furnace ignitor.
How often should furnace ducts be cleaned?
The recommended frequency of furnace duct cleaning depends on your region, use frequency, and respiratory issues. The National Duct Cleaners Association recommends cleaning the air ducts at least every three to five years.
