HVAC Furnace Preparation for the Winter Season

15 September 2022      

In preparing for winter, it is necessary to do some ways to prepare your furnace. One rule of thumb is to keep your furnace operating at peak efficiency in order to keep your home and family warm when it is cold outside. In doing so, it will keep your home cozy and comfortable for everyone during the cold season.

In order to ensure that your furnace is safe and in good working condition, it is necessary to change the filter. Checking and changing your furnace’s air filter will ensure that it is clean and your furnace will get heat faster and with less dust. At the same time changing the filter more often will protect you from allergies. The thermostat is important to set it to Heat. This will ensure that the correct systems are doing the work giving your home a comfortable temperature. In addition, never forget to clean burners. Dust gathers in the furnace which is their favorite place such that when you turn on without cleaning the burner, it will give an unpleasant dusty smell in the entire house. It is the reason why cleaning off the burners before turning the furnace on for the first time of the season is very important in order to check for rust or misaligned parts and needing repairs by a professional.

Above are just examples of some things to be done in preparing your furnace. But no matter how well you take care of your furnace, you need to hire a professional in the maintenance and repair during the entire furnace’s lifespan. The experts will help you pick out and install a new furnace when your current unit has worn out. For more tips in Furnace preparation, contact Central Plumbing and Heating, Inc.
