Gas Furnace
Maintaining Your Gas Furnace
Gas furnace maintenance is important to improve the lifespan of the furnace, its energy efficiency, and to help prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
Keeping a clean furnace helps it work more efficiently. Before doing any maintenance on your gas furnace, be sure to turn off its power supply at the breaker box. The components that must be cleaned often are:
- Flame sensor
- Heat exchanger
- Burners and tubes in the gas furnace
A dirty flame sensor can cause several problems. First, it will not sense when there is a problem with the flame. Without sensing this problem, the furnace cannot shut down to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning or damage to itself from an uncontrolled fire. Second, a dirty flame sensor will make the furnace work harder to produce the same amount of heat, leading to decreased efficiency and higher energy bills. The flame sensor is located on the burner tube, and it can be cleaned with a wire brush.

Finally, put the furnace panel back on and turn the electricity back on.
