How much energy can I save by having my furnace cleaned?
You can save up to 10% on furnace operation costs.
It is important to maintain your heating system. Focus recommends having the furnace cleaned and checked regularly, according to the manufacturer or contractors recommendation. The contractor will test the efficiency, adjust the air and fuel flow, inspect the fan and clean the unit. Clean or replace the filter in your furnace as recommended by your contractor, or as noted on your filter packaging. (This may be as often as once a month.) A clean filter ensures effective airflow while maintaining the air quality and comfort of your home. It is also important to make sure the supply and return registers aren’t obstructed.
A furnace clean and check, including a new filter, can save you up to 10% on your furnace operation costs. In addition to the savings, regular maintenance helps assure that your furnace is running safely and effectively year round.
