Keeping your Trane furnace maintained is important for keeping it running efficiently. As a homeowner, there are a few steps that you can take to ensure that your furnace stays in good working order.
Perform duct cleaning every 3-5 years to prolong the service of your device. Start by placing protective coverings in the work area. Take off the register covers and inspect the ductwork. Thoroughly vacuum your air ducts, registers, and vents. Also, carefully clean the furnace blower area. Finish up by treating the heating ducts with a disinfectant spray.
Gas furnace maintenance is preferable every year. This step is vital in predicting future breakdowns. Vacuum the burners and area around the furnace. Clean out flue pipes and check for rust or leakage. Clean the furnace blower. Examine the flame sensor, fuel line, pilot light, and thermocouple. Check the gas pressure. Inspect the condensate line and remove any clogs. Check the heat exchanger for cracks, corrosion, or blockage. Lubricate moving parts. Test thermostat and safety controls, calibrating as necessary. Test and adjust gas or electrical connections.
Your furnace’s air filter should be changed at least every 3 months. Ideally, you’ll want to change it every 1-2 months. The filters usually last a bit longer, but introducing a larger pressure drop in the system – be sure that your furnace is designed for that.
