Summer Comfort: The Surprising Benefits of Keeping Your Furnace Fan On

Keeping your furnace fan on during the summer can offer several benefits. Here are five reasons why you might consider doing so:

  1. Improved Air Circulation: Running the furnace fan helps circulate the air throughout your home, promoting better airflow and reducing stagnant air pockets. This can help maintain a consistent temperature and prevent hot or cold spots in different rooms. By keeping the air moving, you can enhance overall comfort in your living space.
  2. Enhanced Air Filtration: Furnace fans typically have built-in air filters that capture dust, allergens, and other particles as the air passes through the system. Running the fan continuously helps improve air filtration, as it continuously draws air through the filters, trapping and removing contaminants. This can lead to better indoor air quality and a reduction in respiratory irritants.
  3. Balanced Humidity Levels: The constant circulation of air achieved by keeping the furnace fan on can help distribute moisture evenly throughout your home. This can prevent excess humidity from building up in certain areas and minimize the risk of mold and mildew growth. Balanced humidity levels contribute to a more comfortable indoor environment, reducing the chances of dryness or excessive moisture.
  4. Energy Efficiency: Modern furnace fans are designed to be energy efficient. Running the fan alone consumes significantly less energy compared to operating the entire cooling system. By using the fan independently during mild summer weather, you can maintain a comfortable environment while minimizing the energy consumption associated with running the air conditioner.
  5. Noise Reduction: Furnace fans are generally quieter than air conditioning units. If you find the noise of your air conditioner bothersome during nighttime or when trying to concentrate, switching to the furnace fan can provide a quieter alternative.

What Our Customers Have To Say

This company knows their stuff, provides great customer service and excellent work. I’m totally happy with how the two very friendly annd knowledgeable associates cleaned my furnace, vents, dryer vent and AC coil. I will certainly book my next appointment with them.

- Mark

The technicians were efficient and very friendly. They explained what they how and what they were doing. The only thing was there was some sort of residue left on the concrete from their truck all the way to our front door that was not there before they arrived. (Dark stains on our driveway, walkway and front steps leading into the house).

- Maureen Miyagishima

I had an excellent experience with Alberta Furnace Cleaning. They promptly arrived on the first working day of the year, despite the cold weather. Their team provided detailed explanations regarding the service performed and offered helpful tips for maintaining my units. I am confident that I will book with them again in the next few years.

- Ramir L

The men who did the work were extremely friendly and professional. They were sure to introduce themselves to each of us properly. They explained everything they were doing and even showed us before and after pictures. They were very respectful of our home and used boots covers each time even when going back and forth from outside to in. They cleaned and wiped up their work areas before they left, which was very appreciated. We would hire them again, without hesitation.

Alberta Furnace crews are professional and thorough from appointment to home service. I had my furnace serviced by someone else before and I can say that Alberta Furnace is far better. They protect the corners, walls and floors of the house and leave no marks behind. Their equipments are state-of-the-art. The best in what they do! Price is fair as well.

- Antonio Jr Reyes

A big shout out to Andrew and Aaron from Alberta Furnace Cleaning. My husband and I had recently renovated our home and were noticing a fine dust on everything that I couldn’t keep up with. Andrew and Aaron came in and cleaned the furnace, air conditioning unit and all the duct work. It was shocking to see what the found - construction debris, dog toys, tennis balls etc. They definitely have the equipment to thoroughly clean the mechanical and duct work. Both workers used care in removing vent covers, and cleaned all surfaces, properly replacing the grills when done. They were on time, efficient, polite and respectful of ourselves and our home. I could not be happier.
