How a Clean Furnace Can Improve Indoor Air Quality

How a Clean Furnace Can Improve Indoor Air Quality

Your furnace is directly correlated with your home’s indoor air quality. You may have noticed that you’re feeling extra stuffy or sneezing more often than usual. These symptoms can be a result of your furnace not being able to effectively eliminate dust and other allergens from the air that you’re breathing.

Despite popular belief, an air filter is not the only part of your furnace that needs to be cleaned. If you were to open it up, you would see many different components, and each has a special job to do. When one part is dirty, it can affect other aspects.

Ensuring your furnace is properly supporting indoor air quality starts by inspecting all parts for any clogs, leaks, or buildup.

Parts of your furnace that need to be clean to maintain healthy indoor air quality include:

  • Air filter – Catches any debris or allergens before air gets circulated in your home.
  • Burners – Combines and burns fuel and air to create heat.
  • Blower – Pushes out air from the furnace to the vents in your home.
  • Flame sensor – Detects flames and signals to shut off the system if overheating.

While it may be tempting to get in there and clean it out yourself, the nature of these parts requires being handled by a professional. Making sure that all aspects of your furnace are clean prevents anything other than oxygen from getting into the air you’re breathing.
