Winter is approaching, which means now is the time to think about your heating system. You can handle some routine maintenance yourself, but if you need professional help, you can contact Chud Air Conditioning, Heating, and Duct Cleaning for HVAC services Croydon PA.
How to Care for Your Heating System
Turn off the power to the furnace and remove the doors. Gently pull the furnace wires to see if they’re tight. Check to make sure that all pipes and drainage tubes are securely fastened.
A dirty or clogged furnace filter can restrict airflow, strain the motor, reduce indoor air quality, and clog ductwork. Regularly changing the furnace’s filter is one of the most important things you can do to keep it performing efficiently and reliably. That can also save you money on your utility bills. Check the manufacturer’s recommendation so you know when to change the filter.
If you have a natural gas or propane furnace, water should collect in a drip pan. If the drainage tube gets clogged, it can cause the furnace to shut down. Detach the drainage tube from the manifold and use compressed air or white vinegar to remove any blockages from the tube and drainpipe.
A dirty flame sensor in a gas furnace can cause the furnace to fail. The sensor needs to be cleaned at least once a year. Remove the flame sensor, hold it at the bottom, clean it with an emery cloth, and then put it back.
Debris inside a furnace can reduce its efficiency or cause it to fail. Use a paintbrush with a soft tip to gently loosen dust and debris from the furnace’s inner components. Then use a vacuum to remove the debris.

“I had a great experience with Chud. Lewis and Sebastian did a fantastic job. They were communicative and on time, explained everything that they would be doing to clean my HVAC ductwork, answered all of my questions, were honest about not being able to properly clean my dryer vent, and cleaned up after they were done. They also went above and beyond, even cleaning dust from each slat of the return vent. Highly recommend.”
