General Gas Furnace Maintenance Tips

Some simple maintenance checks that you can do yourself to keep your home’s furnace system up and running.

One of the most important tasks is to clean or replace your filters regularly. 

Dirty filters can reduce airflow, causing the system to work harder and use more energy, while clean filters help maintain good indoor air quality and efficient operation.

Another key step is to test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. 

These devices are critical for your safety, alerting you to potential dangers such as gas leaks or fires. 

Ensuring that your detectors are functioning properly provides peace of mind and protection for you and your family. 

Additionally, cleaning your burners periodically can help prevent dirt and debris buildup, which can impair burner performance, reducing efficiency.

It is also important to check your gas line for any signs of leaks.

 

A gas leak can be hazardous, so if you detect any unusual smells or sounds, it is crucial to address the issue immediately. 

Lastly, regularly checking your thermostat can help ensure that your heating system responds correctly to temperature changes, keeping your home comfortable and energy-efficient.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Propane or Gas Furnace?

Repairs

Often times a repair visit will fix any issue with your current system. Age will play the biggest role in determining whether you need to repair or replace your natural gas or propane furnace. 

Generally, home furnaces can last around 15 years, however, a repair visit could potentially buy you a few more years – especially if your system is less than 12 years old. 

Also, take into consideration the service history of your system. If you have kept up with maintenance and repairs and your propane or natural gas furnace has been reliable and problem-free, a simple repair visit can address any current issue and get your system back to proper operation. 

 

Replacement

Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. If your home’s propane or natural gas furnace is over 15 years old, you may notice that repairs increase in both price and frequency, you’re having to adjust your thermostat more often because your system can’t maintain temperature or you notice that your energy bills are going up. 

It may be time to replace your home’s furnace if repair costs exceed more than 50% of what it would cost of installing a new, more efficient replacement. 

 

Things to Check When Considering Replacement 

Furnace Age

 

Your propane or natural gas furnace should last from 16-20 years. As your home’s heating system approaches this age, it may be time to start looking for replacements.

Repair Records

 

If your furnace has needed multiple repairs within the past 2 years, it may be time to replace it. 

Poor Heat Distribution

 

Some rooms may be hotter or colder than others. If your home is not evenly heated, it may indicate that your furnace is not operating at its best.

Increasing Energy Bills

 

This is a result of poor heat distribution. Your natural gas or propane furnace may have to work harder and use more fuel to heat your home, driving up energy costs. 

Yellow Furnace Flame

 

A yellow flame indicates that your furnace is producing poisonous carbon monoxide. Contact a service technician immediately.
