Home Essentials
Do you have the top five
home essentials in your house? Here's the list and a few
of the things you can use them for... |
Dust can cause a lot of problems for your furnace so you
need to keep it to a minimum. Make sure that you vacuum
the registers in every room once a month, getting the dust
and dirt out of all of the nooks and crannies. Remove the
grate from the larger air returns and vacuum in there too.
Your furnace filter also needs monthly maintenance during
the heating season and the cooling season too if you have
central air conditioning. Many units have disposable
filters; these generally lie at an angle or vertically in
front of the furnace blower. 
Pull the old filter out of the unit. Vacuum the interior
of the duct thoroughly. You may even want to wipe it down
with a damp rag. Once the duct is nice and clean install a
new filter. These filters cost anywhere from sixty-nine
cents to fifteen dollars for specialized allergen reducing
models. This is an inexpensive way to prevent big repair
bills down the road.
