To keep your furnace in good shape between your maintenance appointments, we recommend:
- Replacing the air filter every one to three months
- Cleaning the air vents and registers with a vacuum or dust cloth every few months
- Vacuuming the furnace blower compartment one to two times per year
- Cleaning the area around the furnace regularly
- Inspecting and cleaning the flame sensor with a fine abrasive pad or emery cloth once a year
- Replacing thermostat batteries as needed
- Setting the thermostat properly (avoid setting the temperature above 68 degrees Fahrenheit to minimize system strain)

Do You Need to Service Your Furnace Every Year?
Yes, manufacturers and HVAC professionals alike recommend servicing your furnace annually. Routine furnace maintenance is a proactive way to protect your investment and maximize its lifespan.
Five reasons to service your furnace yearly include:
- Safety: Regular maintenance helps your furnace operate safely. Issues like gas leaks or carbon monoxide leaks can be dangerous, and a technician will check for these potential problems during a service visit.
- Efficiency: An annual service can help keep your furnace running efficiently. Over time, components can become dirty or worn, reducing the system's efficiency and leading to higher energy bills. Maintenance helps each component to continue working as it should.
- Longevity: Regular servicing can extend the lifespan of your furnace. By catching and addressing minor issues before they become major problems, you can help prevent costly repairs or premature replacement.
- Performance: A well-maintained furnace is less likely to break down unexpectedly. Regular check-ups help your system perform reliably and keep your home comfortable throughout the heating season.
- Warranty: If your furnace is still under warranty, annual servicing might be a requirement to keep the warranty valid. Check your warranty terms to be sure.
At IRBIS Air, Plumbing & Electrical, we understand that you've got a lot on your to-do list. Let us give you one less thing to worry about by handling your heating and AC maintenance services.
Annual furnace maintenance not only ensures operational safety but also can significantly improve air quality in your home. Dust and allergens can accumulate in the heating system, and regular cleaning helps maintain a healthy indoor environment. With environmental consciousness on the rise, periodic maintenance aligns with green practices, helping reduce your carbon output and promoting eco-friendly home care.
