4 Simple Tips to Help Your Furnace Work Better

Mark J. Biel • February 18, 2020

Do you wait until it’s absolutely freezing before turning on your heater because you want to save money? Fortunately, the right steps can improve your furnace’s efficiency and performance. You don’t need to be uncomfortable. In today’s article, R.A. Biel Plumbing & Heating, Inc., the top HVAC and  air duct cleaning  company in our area, discusses ways to help your furnace work better.

1. Schedule Regular HVAC Maintenance –  This is the most important thing you can do to improve the performance and energy efficiency of your heating system. Our professional HVAC maintenance services can ensure that your system will run cleanly and efficiently throughout the year.

2. Install a Smart Thermostat –  In addition to our  HVAC maintenance  services, we also recommend installing a smart thermostat. This product can make your heating system function more efficiently by turning it on only when you need it. You’ll never waste money by heating an empty house again.

3. Turn on Your Ceiling Fans –  If your home has ceiling fans, take advantage of them. Reverse the fan’s direction and turn them on. The fan will blow air upward, circulating the hot air that’s trapped at the ceiling throughout the rest of the room.

4. Clear the Basement –  If your furnace is in your basement, chances are it’s near a lot of your stuff. Make sure to keep the area around your furnace clear so that it can draw in air and exhaust properly and safely.
