Oil Furnace Cleaning Tips
To maintain your oil furnace and keep it running efficiently, we recommend annual servicing from a trained HVAC professional. As grime and soot can build up over time, it makes your furnace work harder, causing strain and increasing your energy costs. At a minimum, it should be cleaned at the beginning of each heating season, but repeating mid-year will help keep your gas furnace in peak condition and help prevent future problems. We recommend that you contact your Carrier expert to perform this service.
How to Clean Your Oil Furnace
- Turn the furnace off and wait until it has cooled down.
- Vacuum dust from around the furnace.
- Clean the blower using a small brush.
- Vacuum the burner and blower cavities.
How to Change Your Air Filter
- Turn the furnace off and wait until it has cooled down.
- Open the panel door and remove the filter.
- Clean the filter space.
- Insert a new filter. (If your furnace has a permanent filter, use the cleaner recommended by the manufacturer, and re-insert the filter).
