Furnace Maintenance Guide | Repair and Replace

In this episode of Repair and Replace, Vance shows how to clean and maintain a gas furnace.
Your furnace should be cleaned and inspected each year before its first turned on. This helps ensure that the furnace is running smoothly and gives a chance to identify any problems before heating is needed.

*Note* Be careful when pushing in the wire connectors into the circuit board. 4:26 Too much pressure can cause the board to flex and might crack the board. Its best to place your fingers behind when pushing in the connectors.

[@tomference4618]

..nice clear instruction, not sure my furnace comes apart like this one did.

[@AmreSupply]

Thanks for watching. You are right that there is some variation in how furnaces are configured. If we do an update to this series we'll try to mention more of these variations.

[@mauroaparicio1855]

Very useful

[@AmreSupply]

Thank you Joaquin, we're glad that you liked the video!

[@otherZinc]

Excellent video! #Question: My furnace is on and heats, however, the Blower Motor isn moving. -the Blower Motor isn't making a sound. -I turn the Blower, it moves freely and quietly. -I put the fan on On, nothing. What else can I look for? ULTRA V Tech 80 is my brand.

[@AmreSupply]

Thanks for watching, we're glad that you found it helpful. It could be a faulty furnace motor or a failed capacitor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoS8aZ-IoZ17jJI

[@beckyleung7233]

very good

[@AmreSupply]

Thank you!

Hello, I have yet a video about water heater filter cleaning.

[@AmreSupply]

Thanks for watching. We have a water heater maintenance guide that shows how to clean the flame arrestor screen on the bottom of a standing pilot water heater: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIW4f39_jbCJq5Ysi=hweIyFjcllBAQwiT&t=158

[@shakirahmedtth]

When I open the front cover for vacuuming inside the firnace, there was something like filter attached to that front cover. That filter kind of thing was very dirty and broke. What do we call that one? It is round fiber something. Where to find it. Can we turn on furnace without that? Just closing the front cover?

[@AmreSupply]

Thanks for watching. Are you referring to a gasket that goes around the entire edge of the front cover? Or is the filter wider than an inch?

[@shakirahmedtth]

@@AmreSupply it is more of a heat shield to that front cover. Visited local hoe depot. They don’t have anything. I took out a piece of ceiling and wall fibreglass insulation (like wool) and cut it to match that cover and using that now. I put aluminum duct tape to hold the insulation to that cover. This part directly come into touch with burner fire. I am afraid for carbon leak or fire.

[@sonnyc3826]

the part thats suppose to put water into the air is broken i was hoping for a video on that its so dry in here teh heat makes me sick

[@AmreSupply]

Thanks for watching. We have a couple videos on how to replace parts in humidifiers. kzbin.info/aero/PLCo9SMjkdWBx-MFZoVpaLiOMOws55rOH4

[@lkw5699]

Don't forget to clean your flame sensor at least annually

[@AmreSupply]

Yes Lori that is another good tip. The steps for cleaning it can be seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5fCooWkm615rdU

[@diyhvacguy]

Any maintenance that doesn't include cleaning the flame sensor is not a good maintenance.

[@AmreSupply]

Thanks for watching. This video didn't go into the specifics on the flame sensor or thermocouple as these are covered in other videos. We might however do an update to include those segments.

[@NFLYoungBoy223]

My furnace has a metal filter it looks like?

[@AmreSupply]

Thanks for watching! You might have a washable electrostatic filter. See if you can read the manual or doublecheck the printing on the side.

[@NFLYoungBoy223]

AMRE Supply Thank you and I noticed the operating light I sent illuminated to the filter I even changed the fuses and it still doesn’t work.

[@AmreSupply]

@@NFLYoungBoy223 Did it work before the filter was replaced? We do a guide for troubleshooting for a furnace that won't start in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJqaZ6Rmid-ijZo and general troubleshooting tips here kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4PQf6Wjn7B4r80

[@NFLYoungBoy223]

AMRE Supply no it didn’t work I just seen the light was not illuminated

[@AmreSupply]

@@NFLYoungBoy223 If you have no indicator light, and the furnace isn't running at all then there's likely no power reaching the control board. Double check these things in this video first before anything else kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJqaZ6Rmid-ijZo

Thanks for watching!

[@jacobsever741]

Did anyone else notice that the picture didn’t take?

[@AmreSupply]

Thanks for watching, you are quite observant. Even though the picture didn't click on the phone , that particular shot just happened to be the best take of the entire motion and had better pacing.

[@derekh7982]

You should replace your filter monthly not every 6months....

[@AmreSupply]

Thanks for watching. 6 months is the absolute maximum but it depends on the filter and how often it is used. You are right that in some cases a replacement is needed every month.

[@norahsmith3320]

I think you mean six months is the absolute maximum

[@AmreSupply]

@@norahsmith3320 Yes you are correct. That typo is fixed now for anyone reading this after the fact.

[@namskramskram6009]

Bruh take out the motor and clean the inside of the wheel

[@AmreSupply]

Thanks for watching. Yes cleaning the inside of the wheel can be helpful as well depending on the circumstances.
