- To make sure your system is running properly, test your thermostat regularly. Turn it on and bit by bit increase the temperature setting until you hear your furnace kick on.

- Check your filters often and clean or change them when recommended. We can’t emphasize this enough. It’s a a simple way to increase the airflow through your furnace and keep peak efficiency.
- Keep all your vents and cool air returns clear of obstructions. This includes keeping the ventilation outside of your home clear.
- Think about having your air ducts professionally cleaned if you observe dust building up around your cool air returns or notable debris in your ducts. To learn more about duct cleaning and the signs it’s time to hire someone, go back to our blog on duct cleaning.
