summer furnace maintenance, furnace maintenance

Summer is now here. With the sunny weather, you’re probably not going to be using the furnace any time soon. This makes it the ideal time to schedule maintenance so that it’s ready by the following fall and winter. Here are some summer furnace maintenance tips to keep in mind during this season.

1. Turn Off the Pilot Light

Most modern furnaces activate the burners via an electronic switch. However, older models use a pilot light. When left on, the pilot light creates excess heat in the home interior; it also stresses the appliances. Refer to the user’s manual to find out how to turn the pilot light off.

You should also completely switch off the gas supply to the furnace altogether. This prevents gas buildup from accumulating in the furnace’s interior.

2. Clean the Furnace

Even when the furnace is off, dust can still collect inside the unit. This can inhibit airflow by the time you begin using the appliance the following fall. All the excess dust and debris can also be a fire hazard. Summer is the ideal time for furnace cleaning.

3. Replace the Air Filter

Mold has been known to grow inside the furnace. This can lead to serious sanitation issues. When you turn on the furnace, this can blow polluted air into the home interior and into areas like the carpet and furniture. To minimize mold growth, check the furnace’s air filter and replace it if it’s dirty. Replace it now; don’t wait until fall or winter.

Called Aurora Edmonds Furnace Cleaning to get the exhaust for our Oil Furance and Dryer vent cleaned. Spoke with someone promptly and they got me scheduled quickly. Cleaners arrived on time, explained what they were doing, and were very thorough in their cleaning.

I needed to get the ducts and the fan cleaned. In the vents Jay found stuff my teengage kids played with when they were babies which tells me that the previos company I hired didn't do a good job. Everything is clean, I had a lot of questions and everything got answered. Other than cleaning the fan and ducts, Jay fixed the grid, the datached vents - thank you for helping me to keep my home clean! In my opinion this a much better quality work than most other companies out here.

Mike and Andrew cleaned out my dryer vent. We had never moved the dryer before to realize there was a hole in our vent duct that was leaking lint into our wall. They also cleaned out the wall cavity and applied metal duct tape to seal the vent until a replacement duct can be installed. Their thoughtfulness and above and beyond work helped save our home from a potential and hidden fire-danger. Thank you!

I called so many different companies and none of them would clean my dryer vent because of its odd location. I found AEF and they where able to come out the next day to find the problem with my vent. The technicians where super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I will be calling AEF again in the future.

Great and timely service in a friendly but professional manner. I called a month after the service with a question and the owner dropped by personally to make sure everything was working properly. Beer impressive!
