Bartlett Heating and Air Talks About How Falling Leaves Can Cause Furnace Issues This Autumn

Autumn is a beautiful time of the year. The leaves become vibrant and colorful and the weather seems almost perfect. These beautiful leaves falling off the trees can cause some issues when it comes to your furnace this fall though. Higher efficiency furnaces of 90% and up have intake and outtake pipes to work. Falling leaves can obstruct these pipes. The PVC pipes are typically located on the side of the home and low to the ground which makes them easy to get clogged by the leaves. It is a good idea to check these pipes regularly throughout the fall. Make sure you rake your leaves and if pile them up, be sure to keep the pile away from these pipes. If you are starting to have furnace issues, make sure you go outside and check out these pipes. Clean them out if they are full of leaves. If you clean them out and the furnace is still having issues call the professionals at Bartlett Heating and Air to help you with your HVAC issues.
