- Yes, we’ve said it before, but we can’t stress this enough: check your filters regularly and clean or change them when suggested. This is such a simple way to improve the airflow through your furnace and preserve top efficiency.
- Keep all your vents and cool air returns clear of barriers. This comprises of keeping any ventilation out of your home clear.
