How do I take care of the maintenance of my furnace?
You should take care of the following things:
- Change your furnace filters regularly. Some filters are required to be changed only once a year whereas the standard 1” filter should be changed monthly.
- Make sure to remove or chip off the icicle formed by the vent termination on the outside of the house. If the icicle grows and covers the vent, the furnace will not work properly.
- Schedule regular maintenance calls. The modern furnaces have a lot more sensitive parts that need regular maintenance to work effectively. Most warranty contracts for furnaces require that the furnace be maintained at a minimum of once a year by a qualified technician.
G.M. Mechanical offers a maintenance contract so that you never miss an annual maintenance call. The contract also lists out the prices that you will be charged. A maintenance call is necessary as the agents may be able to identify any potential issue that may cost you a huge sum of money later.
How can I make my house more comfortable this winter?
If you feel that a particular room in your house feels colder than the rest of the house, there might be an issue in the ductwork layout. Replacing the ductwork is a costly affair, but that doesn't mean you have to stay cold. You can follow the following measures to stay warm this winter:
- Check for return air. Locate the return air vent in the room and make sure that it is not blocked by any furniture.
- You can keep the room warm by running your furnace fan continuously. This will help circulate the warm air throughout the house to help reduce temperature variances.
If the noise produced by running the furnace fan continuously bothers you, upgrade to a furnace with a variable speed blower. These DC drive blowers use approximately 1/8 of the electricity and are quieter than the regular furnaces.
Do you experience a seasonal cold every year when the temperature drops?

Seasonal cold has more to do with the quality of air inside your house than the temperature outside.
A possible reason for this could be the bacteria thriving in the ductwork. When the furnace has not been operational for a few months, it leaves a place in your ductwork for bacteria to thrive which then circulates throughout the house when the furnace is turned on. This problem can be resolved by adding a hi-efficient air cleaner/filter. The Lennox PureAir system helps remove any bacteria or even viruses. Something as simple as having regular maintenance done to your furnace can also help.

How to get the most out of your furnace this winter and be problem-free?

Gas bills often shoot up as the winter season arrives. One easy way to reduce your gas bills is to turn down the temperature at night or when you are not at home. You can do this very easily with a programmable thermostat. A programmable thermostat can be set as per your schedule and all you have to do is change batteries on time so that it functions effectively. This will help ensure that your house is toasty warm every time you come home. You should also check the exhaust and intake (if applicable) vents on the outside of the house to ensure that your thermostat effectively warms up your house. Make sure to remove any icicle forming around the vent.
Your furnace also needs to breathe to be effective. Obstruction around the vents or dirty filters can adversely affect this “breathing”. Change the filters regularly to ensure cozy temperatures inside.
Also, keep checking the humidifier pad. A scaled-up humidifier pad will cause wastage of water by passing it through to the drain. It can also create a situation for mould to grow. We advise regular servicing of the heating equipment by a qualified technician to avoid costly repairs or being stuck “inside” in the cold!
