Check for strange noises, rust, and moisture

It’s no fun discovering that there’s something wrong with your furnace on the first cold morning. The process of winter furnace preparation should begin now, at the start of the fall season. There are some simple things you can do to ensure your furnace is ready to keep your household warm and cozy throughout the winter. We will discuss them in this blog post.

1. Change the filter as recommended, which is typically every 1 to 3 months unless your furnace is equipped with an annual filter.
2. Make sure there’s nothing blocking or impeding the intake pipe, which is typically on the outside of your home. If there is, it’s not only affecting the efficiency of your furnace, but also allowing dangerous carbon monoxide to build up in your home.
3. Be sure to maintain your furnace and heating system as scheduled. While you should definitely leave any furnace repair to the pros, there are some things you can do to check for a potential problem. Turn your furnace off so the blower stops. Then, power it back on and listen for any unusual sounds. Also check the windows for moisture and rust on the vent pipe, both of which can indicate an issue.

If your furnace isn’t operating properly, it won’t matter how many layers of clothing and blankets you wrap yourself in; the temperature inside won’t be as warm as it should be.
