Furnace Maintenance Tips

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

An efficiently operating furnace will provide your family and home with all the heat you need to stay warm and cozy this winter. As a leading Park City furnace repair company, we know all too well how harsh the snowfall here can be. Keeping your system running at its peak will not only ensure that you stay warm for the entire season, but also that you’re getting the most out of your system in terms of efficiency and cost.

  • Clean the equipment. Dust in the vents and on the furnace itself can clog the heating system or keep it from running well. A quick cleaning every week and a more in-depth duct cleaning annually can help reduce your energy bill.

Boiler repair in Park City isn’t just about keeping your machine updated and running without failure. Good maintenance can actually help your heating system be more efficient, which translates to lower running costs. If you’re looking to reduce your heating bills this winter, we’ll show you a few fast and easy ways to do it.

  • Run the boiler once a month to clear out dust and other buildup. Even though it might not seem like a good idea to fire up the boiler in the summer, this is the best way to clear out your system. Like a car, a boiler that sits for too long is more likely to have problems starting up later on. This is a great way to ensure that your vents are cleaned out, as well.

Difference Between a High Pressure and Low Pressure Boiler

Boilers are one of the most commonly misunderstood pieces of home heating equipment. As a leading provider of boiler repair in Park City, we often get questions and concerns related to the safety of the machinery, especially in relation to high or low pressure issues.

The truth is that any residential boiler equipment is designed with family usage in mind. Most of the hydronic boilers used in this capacity run at anywhere from 12 psi (for a boiler that isn’t on) to 30 psi. (The measurement psi is used to determine pressure, and stands for pounds per square inch.) By definition, a high pressure boiler is one that operates above 15 psi, while a low pressure boiler is one that operates at 15 psi or lower.

If you’re considering Park City furnace repair to help reduce your heating costs this winter, it’s also a good idea to look at how efficiently your home holds heat. One of the most cost-effective ways to enhance your furnace’s output is to ensure that you aren’t venting valuable heat to the outside through hidden cracks or broken seals.

The most common places to start improving your home’s heat efficiency include the following:

  • Windows: If new energy-efficient windows aren’t in your budget, window insulation kits or quilted curtains can make a big difference for less than $100.

Why Improving Home Ventilation Matters

One of the common questions we get asked as a leading provider of furnace repair in Park City is how to find that perfect balance of airtight sealing and safe ventilation. Park City winters are famous for the snow and cold, which can last up to six months out of the year. While most of us wouldn’t trade the pristine mountain views and gorgeous ski slopes, we do want our homes to be a sanctuary where warmth is contained—which is why putting up seals and having an airtight home can have a real impact on how effective your heating apparatus is.
