Commercial Furnace Maintenance
Low Heating Bills Are The New Hot Thing!
Regular maintenance goes a long way in maximizing the lifespan of your furnace. Not only does it help your system run smoothly, maintenance is key to ensuring the safety and efficiency of your commercial furnace. Common furnace issues that arise can include carbon monoxide buildup due, faulty ductwork, low oxygen levels due to a lack of fresh air, and fires due to soot buildup. Any of these issues can result in serious consequences if not handled correctly!

Pro Tips for Commercial Furnace Maintenance
Between scheduled maintenance check-ups, it is possible for you to contribute to the well-being of your commercial furnace system.
These tips will maximize your commercial furnace’s lifespan:
- Safety First: Before maintaining your commercial furnace, be sure to cut off power and the fuel supply. It is good to know where these switches are in case of emergency.
- Clean Filters: Dirty filters strain your commercial furnace and shorten its lifespan. Schedule monthly checkups for your filter and replace when necessary.
- Functioning Thermostat: Think about purchasing a programmable thermostat. This can control energy costs and keep your commercial space comfortable.
- Clearing Obstructions: Check anything that may be obstructing vents, exhaust, and combustion air pipes. Remove the obstruction immediately for improved furnace performance.
- Checking Gas Leaks: If you notice gas fumes or damaged connections, immediately shut off the gas supply and get help from a professional furnace technician before proceeding.
When Is Furnace Replacement a Good Idea?
Environment Canada’s ENERGY STAR program suggests replacing furnaces that are 15 years or older. Older furnaces are rated at about 65% efficiency when up against newer models that achieve 97% fuel utilization efficiency. If your furnace is new, but still experiencing significant problems, it may need to be replaced. Talk to a trusted technician to help you make the decision.
