You and your family rely on your central heating to keep you warm in the winter. After running for weeks and months on end, it could require cleaning and upkeep to maintain its function and safety.
Rather than trying to figure out how to take care of it yourself, you can outsource your home’s furnace maintenance in Chicago to experienced HVAC contractors. They can handle the most common upkeep tasks needed to keep this important fixture working all winter long.
Changing the Filters
One of the most important tasks for keeping your furnace working involves changing out the filters. It can be easy to overlook changing out the filters because they are out of the way and rarely if ever seen. You forget that they can become detrimentally clogged with dirt, dander, and dust from the inside of your home.
The maintenance contractors know where to find the filters and can change them out at the start of every winter. You can be sure of the air that is blown out being warm as well as clean and free from contaminants like dust and dirt.
You can also have your furnace’s pilot lit and extinguished at the right times during the year. You avoid having to reach into light or put it out yourself. You can learn more about furnace maintenance in Chicago by contacting Heatmasters Heating & Cooling.
