The best thing to do is to keep the furnace filter clean.
2
Periodically clean the blower assembly.
3
Routinely check the condition of the blower belt.
4
Check to make sure that the motors turn freely and put a few drops in any oil caps.
5
Clean the thermostat before heating season begins.
6
For oil furnaces, clean any soot from the stack about the middle of the season.
7
Inspect the smoke coming from the chimney. If it’s black call a service professional to make adjustments.
8
Inspect duct work and clean when necessary.
9
Make sure the in-duct humidifier is unplugged after the season and drain it so it will not breed bacteria and mildew.
10
Caulk the hole where the thermostat wire enters the wall so that a draft doesn’t cause it to think the room is cooler than it really is causing the furnace to run too much.
