Perform this Quick Check List on Your Furnace this Spring!

Know anyone who's interested in buying a home? If you have any friends, family, or co-workers who are looking to own their first or second home - would you forward this message to them? We'll be happy to show them our 7 new construction home plans along with the benefits of owning a Charleston Home so they can make a decision that's right for them. 

As we transition into the spring season, I wanted to give you a quick checklist for your furnace and other mechanics within your home:
 

1. Check your furnace filter. This is first and foremost – filters need to be checked on a monthly basis. Remember to match the arrows signifying the direction of your furnace’s airflow. Make sure you have a new filter going into spring!
2. Check your condensation lines. These lines can become clogged from debris or sludge and they should be replaced every 2-3 years.  If the lines become obstructed, moisture will not be able to pass through from the air conditioning coils. Be sure you are checking both the A/C and the furnace condensation lines. Your lines should also be zip-tied to the drain to allow for clean drainage.
3. Switch your humidifier from “winter” to “summer.” This must be done as soon as you start running your air conditioner.
4. Overall cleanliness. Be sure to remove dust and cobwebs from the exterior of your furnace. Also, have your furnace professionally serviced every 2-3 years. The same goes for your air conditioner.
 

If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call or stop by one of our model homes. Thanks and have a great day!
