How To Clean Your Furnace
Most HVAC maintenance should be performed by a professional, but there are a few things you can do to help keep your furnace running as smoothly as possible between maintenance visits. These include:
- Replacing the air filter – During the heating season, check the air filter once a month and replace it every three months or wherever it looks too dirty, whichever comes first.
- Cleaning the vents – Make sure none of the heating registers or vents are blocked by furniture, rugs, or drapes, and vacuum out the grilles every month or so.
- Cleaning the furnace – Make sure the power is off to the furnace and shut off the pilot light, if equipped, using its valve. Clean and dust the front of the furnace using a damp cloth and use a vacuum to clean out any dust and cobwebs near the burners carefully. Restore power and relight the pilot light.
- Test the thermostat – Adjust the thermostat so that the furnace turns on and make sure the system starts properly and begins producing heat.

Why Preventative Furnace Maintenance Is Important
During winter in Northern Virginia, your furnace will run around the clock to keep your home cozy and warm. As a result, your furnace is sure to wear down, causing parts to wear and fail as heat and friction take their toll. Preventative maintenance services for your furnace help counteract this damage and catch any issues before they become major problems. Ideally, your furnace should receive service once a year, just before the heating season begins. At HVAC & Plumbing Unlimited, we are happy to help. We offer furnace maintenance services throughout Arlington, Alexandria, and Northern Virginia.

Furnace Maintenance FAQs
How often should my furnace be serviced?
Most furnaces require annual maintenance service to operate correctly and keep the manufacturer’s warranty in full effect. At HVAC & Plumbing Unlimited, we recommend two service visits a year, in the fall and in the spring, to keep both your heating and cooling systems in excellent condition.
Should I upgrade my air filter?
Upgrading from a standard fiberglass air filter to a pleated filter or a HEPA filter may seem like a good way to improve your indoor air quality, but the added pressure drop may actually hurt the performance of your furnace. Talk to your furnace manufacturer or the experts at HVAC & Plumbing Unlimited before considering an air filter upgrade.
How do I prevent carbon monoxide poisoning?
Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, odorless, invisible gas that can cause illness or even death with extended exposure. It can be produced by any fuel-burning appliance that is not working properly, such as a furnace. Service your furnace annually and install quality carbon monoxide detectors throughout your home to keep your family safe.
