Milwaukee, WI - TopFurnaceGuide.com, a leading online resource for homeowners seeking trusted heating and furnace information, today announced the release of new seasonal HVAC preparation tips from longtime HVAC professional and author Kelsey Neff.
Neff, who has more than 20 years of experience in gas furnace sales, service, and residential HVAC troubleshooting, is the primary writer behind Top Furnace Guide’s rapidly growing library of expert how-to guides, maintenance checklists, furnace comparisons, and homeowner education articles. As temperatures shift across the country, Neff is urging homeowners to take proactive steps to protect their comfort and avoid unexpected breakdowns.
“Seasonal preparation is essential for preventing emergency repairs,”
Neff said. “A few simple checks—like replacing filters, cleaning burners, and confirming your thermostat settings—can significantly improve performance and extend the lifespan of your system.”
In his latest set of recommendations, Neff highlights several high-impact tasks homeowners should prioritize as seasons change:
-
Replace or clean filters every 1–3 months to maintain airflow and efficiency.
-
Test the thermostat to ensure accurate temperature readings and proper cycling.
-
Inspect and clean furnace burners, flame sensors, and blower compartments.
-
Check safety components, including pressure switches and limit switches, to ensure reliable startup.
-
Clean outdoor HVAC units of debris, leaves, and obstructions before heating or cooling cycles begin.
-
Schedule a professional inspection at least once per year to catch issues early.
Neff emphasizes that homeowners benefit most when they prepare ahead of temperature extremes. “Don’t wait for the first cold night to find out your furnace won’t start,” he added. “A bit of preparation can save you from costly repairs and cold nights.”
With years of hands-on experience working with brands such as York, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Amana, Bryant, and Goodman, Neff’s advice blends real-world service knowledge with homeowner-friendly guidance. His articles on Top Furnace Guide continue to help thousands of readers each month make informed decisions about maintenance, system upgrades, and troubleshooting.
