Cleaning your blower wheel can help keep your furnace running in tip-top shape!
Dirt build-up in your furnace can have a huge negative impact on your heating oil system. Not only does it waste fuel and lower its efficiency, but it also impacts the motor, filter system and blower wheel. To combat this common issue, we recommend cleaning your furnace regularly.
What is a Blower Wheel?
Blower wheels are designed to keep air moving in and out of the furnace. After years of continuous use, the blades can build-up quite a bit of dirt. When dirt begins to clog the blower wheel’s blades, your furnace will need to work in over-drive to keep the air circulating. The heat exchanger is also affected by this, as it will run hotter. This can significantly raise your electricity bill and lower your furnace’s lifespan.
Benefits of Cleaning the Blower Wheel
Cleaning the blower wheel is critical to keeping your furnace running efficiently. By clearing out the debris in the blower wheel, you will begin to experience a range of benefits such as:
1. Extending your furnace’s life span
