5 Things You\u2019re Doing That Hurt Your Furnace<\/h2>\n

Your furnace comes with instructions when you first get it, but a furnace is one of those things that you grew up with in your home, that\u2019s designed to be simple to operate, and that you probably feel comfortable turning on and off without much thought. Although this is a common mindset, it\u2019s how things can slowly turn south with your heater. There are probably many things you\u2019re doing that you don\u2019t even realize are bad for the unit\u2019s performance. If you\u2019re doing any of the following, make sure the habit stops today!<\/p>\n

1. Setting High Thermostat Temperatures<\/h3>\n

Sometimes, we overestimate how cold we are or how high we need our thermostat setting. Sometimes it\u2019s hard to keep a mild thermostat setting in mind when you come home to a chilly house here in Staten Island. We understand. Although it\u2019s tempting to dial your temperature up high, we want to remind you to aim for a mild temperature. This will keep your home efficient.<\/p>\n

2. Getting Impatient<\/h3>\n

Sometimes you just want your home to be warm as soon as possible. Although we understand this desire, you don\u2019t want to overwork your heater to get these results. If you want fast service from your unit, it\u2019s worth investing in a smart or Wi-Fi thermostat. Trying to overwork your heater will only result in repair work and higher heating bills.<\/p>\n

3. Skipping Out on Maintenance<\/h3>\n

You should maintain your heater every year in the fall to prepare for our freezing Staten Island winters. If you find your procrastination turning into a missed maintenance appointment, then it\u2019s time to call our professionals. You can enroll in our maintenance plan and we\u2019ll call to remind you to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n

4. Forgetting to Replace Your Filter<\/h3>\n

Replacing your furnace filter is a simple thing you can do each season to keep your furnace efficiency high and your bills low. Don\u2019t forget to do this. Schedule a reminder and save yourself a considerable amount of hassle.<\/p>\n

5. Neglecting Your Equipment<\/h3>\n

When was the last time you upgraded your thermostat? If you\u2019re scratching your head trying to remember when, it\u2019s time for you to invest in your home again. You need a Wi-Fi or smart thermostat in your home. If you don\u2019t have one of these, you\u2019re not getting the service your home really needs.<\/p>\n
