There are a few tips I would like to give to you for better functioning of your home furnace or heater.

1.Make sure that you are working under safe conditions
          Gas appliances can malfunction anytime, therefore, you must ensure that you have taken proper and adequate safety measures before you exercise any cleaning or repairing work. 

2.Make sure there are no flammable objects around your furnace
                Normally a home gas furnace is located in a basement, a storage room or in a separate place. The best way to avoid any hazards taking place in your home will be to not place any flammable thing, like clothes, gasoline, paint or any other household item that can catch fire, close to the furnace.

3.Clean and replace filter for better functioning of blower motor
          The blower motor repair along with the filter plays a crucial role in a furnace system. The filter traps dust and debris and serves in the process of delivering warm and fresh air throughout the rooms in your home. An unclean or faulty filter would mean a malfunctioning blower since the filter is installed in the furnace blower. The easiest way of maintaining your furnace maintenance is to replace your filter. It is inexpensive and will keep your furnace blower motor functional thus saving money over complete replacement or repair of a blower motor.

4.Clean condenser coils
          Dirt and dust will clog upon the condenser gradually if it is not cleaned frequently and this will result in a poor heating performance of the furnace or heater.

5. Clean the ducts
          Blocked ventilation is dangerous and can cause lots of hazards to the users. A professional would remove the vent and use a high-powered vacuum to clean up the ducts and vents from the inside but you can use a large brush for cleaning the vents.

Although You can get the most out of your furnace by cleaning and maintaining it yourself if you follow the above tips, a thorough inspection by a professional hvac company will always be helpful in identifying major sources of heat loss in your home and also in identifying the irregularities or problems with the furnace which you cannot take care of by yourself. A small checkup would cost you a little money but may save you from other hurdles and damages in the long run.
