Winter has arrived here in Lumberton and it doesn’t seem like it will be leaving New Jersey for quite some time! What does that mean for your family? Well, besides maybe more hot chocolates and cozy blankets, it means that your furnace will be running overtime to circulate warm air into your house and keep the icy cold temperatures out. In fact, furnaces or similar heating systems on average are the largest energy expense in people’s homes!Â
At Raynor Services, we take pride in service that supports our customer’s safety, comfort, and even their wallet! As the winter seemingly hits our Lumberton area hard every year, we want to ensure that your furnace is running as efficiently as possible not only to keep your home warm but also to keep your utility bills low. We provide expert furnace maintenance services to ensure the effectiveness and productivity of your furnace, giving you peace of mind all winter long. Below, we’ve listed out some furnace maintenance tips for the average homeowner to keep in mind this winter.Â
Cleaning Your Air Filters!
From working on so many different furnace jobs, we can say firsthand that many homeowners neglect their air filters. In fact, many people don’t even realize that they need to regularly check and clean their furnace’s filters. This is a major mistake, and can lead to the depreciation of your furnace and also impose health risks on your family. Firstly, the furnace filter is designed to deliver warm air throughout your intended rooms of the home. Secondly, the furnace filter’s job is to remove any bacteria, dust, or other contaminants from the air before it’s circulated into your home. With a dirty and clogged air filter, your furnace cannot perform as it was designed to, meaning your energy bills will go up while the quality of heat actually goes down. Clean your filters regularly to avoid this!Â
Limit Heating!
While we want you to be comfortable and warm all winter long, we also recommend that you do not leave the furnace running nonstop. If you are going to be at work all day or running errands out of the house, these systems can be turned off, or at the least lowered, so that your furnace doesn’t get overworked.Â
Get a Professional Inspection!Â
The reality is, the average person will not be able to identify the complex problems within a furnace system that are causing the circulation issues. Trained and certified HVAC technicians in Lumberton will perform a thorough inspection of your furnace, working to identify small components or eros that can cause major problems! These technicians even utilize cameras to determine weak spots and make the necessary repairs. Whether there’s a problem with sealing or an issue with installation, the professionals at Raynor can spot and correct any furnace issue. Sometimes, however, a really old and malfunctioning furnace may be beyond repair. In that case, our team will perform the best replacement services in Lumberton!Â
