 Basic Gas Furnace Safety Tips Natural gas is also the most popular type of home furnace, accounting for nearly half of all residential furnaces in the US. Gas furnaces are great if you’d like a more cost-efficient and even heating system, but they also come with their own set of safety issues.  Here’s are ways to keep your gas furnace functioning safely, and when it might be best to contact a professional. Schedule a furnace cleaning and check-up to be performed yearly by a technician. Request that s/he checks for cracks in the combustion chamber, as these cracks could allow carbon monoxide to leak into your home. This should be done before winter starts. Change the air filter regularly. Dust particles can build-up on the furnace’s air filter and reduce efficient airflow and heating capabilities, as well becoming a fire-hazard or furnace failure potential in extreme instances of neglect.

  Your home's air filter removes dust, allergens and more from the air passing through the  system. You must replace these lightweight cardboard-and-wire constructs regularly. After six months or so, that filter becomes so choked with dirt that air has a tough time getting through, and the unit can't really do its job anymore. That not only increases the dust in your home, it greatly decreases airflow for your air conditioning unit.  You can improve energy use for your air conditioner by five to 15 percent just by replacing a dirty filter. So make sure you install a new filter a couple of times a year. And remember to check and change it after particularly dusty activities, like cleaning ductwork, a big demolition or refinishing a wood floor.
