Living in the eastern part of the country means super long, brutally cold as well as snowy winters, and it’s not unusual for us to start up the gas furnace sometime in October as well as keep it running steadily until the end of May or early April; The temperature remains below 30 for months at a time, then both of us expect temperatures down to twenty-several below freezing as well as the wind chill makes it feel even colder.
It certainly becomes dangerous to spend time outdoors! A reliable, officially functioning as well as energy smart furnace is a key thing.
I spent a small fortune on a top-of-the-line gas furnace. I chose a model that features adjustable-speed technology as well as achieves up to a 98% AFUE rating! While the purchase as well as upgrade of the gas furnace was expensive, my hope was to save money every month on lower heating bills. I want the furnace to last as long as possible. I take necessary steps to avoid energy waste as well as malfunctions. I update the furnace filter in the gas furnace every month. I’ve also carefully caulked, weatherstripped as well as insulated my apartment to minimize the workload of the gas furnace. I’ve enrolled in a service idea with a local Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C supplier that includes inspection of the air conditioner in the Springtime as well as gas furnace in the fall. A certified professional comes to the home to thoroughly troubleshoot, test, scrub as well as adjust the gas furnace, and he verifies the safety of the heat exchanger as well as functionality of the thermostat unit. He cleans the blower, tightens electrical connections as well as lubricates moving parts. He removes any buildup of debris that might otherwise restrict airflow.
