Home Furnace Insights
As busy as homeowners may be, the home furnace system should never go ignored. Negligence can lead to very expensive repairs and replacements. As such, it is important that homeowners at least keep basic points in mind when it comes to the home furnace.
The Air Filter Needs to Be Changed
Air filters in home furnaces should be changed in between major seasons.
Keep in mind that:
- Air filters with smaller pores capture more particles. As a result, it needs to be changed more often.
- Homes furnaces often come with air filters with a rating below MERV-16. Anything higher than that may force the home furnace to use more energy.
Changing the air filter does not need to be complicated. The most important part is to replace the air filter as needed. This helps keep the indoor air quality high, removing particles and germs out of the air supply. It also keeps the interior of the home furnace clean and free of buildup. This protects parts and gears so that the home furnace lasts and serves longer without problems.
The Drip Pan Can Grow Mold
Though this is a bigger concern with air conditioning, colder weather can also contribute to condensation. As a consequence, the drip pans and condensate lines may collect water. When left unattended, stagnant water can grow mold and other microbiological byproducts.
Homeowners should check on their home furnaces once in a while to clean out the drip pans. Pools of water can also collect in other areas depending on where home furnaces are located, so be sure to be thorough during the search.
If your home furnace has not been maintained by a professional, microbiological growth can also be found deep inside the system. This leads to air pollution. Only your home furnace contractor can remove growth within the system.
