Heater Maintenance Can Save You Time and Money.
We all know that as Texans we bundle up and turn on our heaters if the temperatures drop below 65. What’s worse is finding out your heater won’t turn on, you smell gas or burning, or getting that extremely expensive electric bill after using the heater only a few times. Heater maintenance is just as important as AC maintenance. Allowing your heater to become dirty and clogged is only asking for issues to arise resulting in costly repairs or being without heat when that freak snow/freeze happens. Heating systems rely on a blower wheel to circulate air through the home. A dirty blower wheel can decrease air flow, efficiency, and comfort. It can also cause the wheel to become unbalanced resulting in blower motor failure. Beyond this, a dirty furnace blower wheel can:
- Increase electrical use
- Decrease motor bearing life
- Increase noise
- Reduce airflow potentially overheating the furnace and cracking the heat exchangers.
Below is an example of a dirty blower wheel and a clean blower wheel:
