We hope we don I need to explain why this is necessary. 3 Give your furnace room to breathe. You know how when you blow on a fire, it bums better? Same principle applies here. Mate sure pur air vents, cold-air returns and heat registers are clear. 4 Three drops of oil m your furnace's motor is all it takes to keep things in line. If only your kids were that easy to manage. Check those motor belts, too. If they're cracked, replace them. 5 Have your furnace inspected by a licensed beating contractor. Tis easier (and cheaper) to maintain, than to repair.
