Your furnace saw you through some record-breaking temperatures this winter. With summer on the way, you won\u2019t be using your furnace for a while. But that doesn\u2019t mean you should forget all about your furnace when it\u2019s not in use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are steps you should take if you want to be able to rely on your furnace during the next heating season. Maintenance is the best way to show your furnace just how thankful you are for its performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to go through this end of heating season checklist before you close the door on winter and throw open the windows to welcome the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a checklist of things you can do to make sure your furnace will be ready when you need it next. Staying on top of maintenance and scheduling furnace service in Bozeman, MT<\/a> when it\u2019s needed is the best way to prepare your furnace for next winter and extend its lifespan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Change the Air Filter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best way to not forget about changing your air filter is to do it now. That way, when the first unexpected cold snap comes, this important step will already be taken care of. Also, if you have a heat pump, changing the air filter will get it ready for the cooling season. If you\u2019re curious about the role filters play, learn more about what an air filter does<\/a> and how it helps keep your system running smoothly.
If you have ductwork in your home, the furnace uses the same ducts as the air conditioner. Changing the filter now will ensure it\u2019s ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spring Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the winter, so many household items somehow manage to accumulate in the area surrounding your furnace. Decorations, storage boxes, and winter equipment shouldn\u2019t be stored in the area directly around your furnace. In fact, there shouldn\u2019t be anything surrounding it. Your furnace needs optimal airflow around it to do its job effectively. Add cleaning this area to your spring cleaning checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although furnace maintenance is ideally done before heating season, if you can\u2019t remember the last time you had furnace maintenance, there\u2019s no better time like the present. Scheduling heater maintenance<\/a> even at the end of the season can help extend the life of your furnace and ensure it\u2019s ready for next winter. Maintenance is the absolute best thing you can do to get the best performance out of your furnace. End of heating season maintenance is better than no maintenance at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, now\u2019s the ideal time to have it done because our technicians aren\u2019t as busy during the off season. As a reminder, central furnaces should have maintenance done once a year. Heat pumps should get maintenance twice a year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule Your Repairs Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now\u2019s a good time to assess your furnace\u2019s performance over the winter. Are you satisfied with its performance or was it ho-hum? Was it making some strange noises or leaving pockets of cool air around the house? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you suspect your furnace needs a repair and you\u2019ve been putting off calling us, we recommend not putting it off any longer. The off season is the best time for furnace repairs, as it gives you time to prepare for unexpected cold snaps. Take a look at how to avoid heating repairs this season<\/a> by staying proactive and addressing small issues before they become bigger problems. Get those repairs taken care of and you won\u2019t have to worry this autumn when you use your furnace for the first time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
