Cold Weather Minute: Furnace "Tune-Ups" Will Help Cut Heating Costs

November 18, 2010

Replacing or cleaning your furnace filters once a month can help you save up to 5 percent of heating costs. A dirty filter restricts airflow, making the system work a little harder to keep you warm. Having a clean filter also prolongs the life of your furnace by keeping dust and dirt from building up in the system, which can lead to expensive maintenance and/or system failure. Keeping your furnace clean, lubricated and well maintained is important to preventing the use of wasteful energy and eliminating unwanted costs.
