Maintenance Tips

• Replace Air Filters Every 1–3 Months – Clean filters keep airflow strong, protect the blower, and reduce strain on combustion components.

• Annual Professional Inspection – A certified HVAC tech should check and clean burners, heat exchanger, ignition system, and PVC flue venting to maintain the 96% AFUE efficiency and safety.

• Clean Condensate Drain & Vent Pipes – High‑efficiency furnaces produce condensate; flush drain lines seasonally and ensure PVC intake/exhaust pipes are clear of debris or blockages.

• Inspect Electrical & Control Components – Periodically check wiring, limit switches, and the self‑diagnostic control board for secure connections and proper operation.

• Maintain Clear Airflow – Keep supply/return vents unobstructed and the area around the furnace free of dust and flammable items to support efficient performance.

• Test Thermostat & Safety Devices – Replace thermostat batteries yearly and test carbon monoxide detectors regularly for safe operation.

• Record All Maintenance – Track filter changes, inspections, and service visits to support warranty coverage and long‑term performance.
