This is to ensure that the unit remains in its top performance throughout the season. It is also suggested to periodically check the filter if the furnace does not seem to be heating efficiently or thoroughly.
Further the home owner can also make sure that all of the wires on the furnace look to be in good shape with no wear and tear. Also be assured that if the unit is a gas or propane heater that the connections are all sound with no visible leakages.
