November General HVAC Checklist

Posted On: November 3, 2025

November General HVAC Checklist

November brings cooler temperatures and more time spent indoors, making your HVAC system essential for home comfort.


Before winter weather fully settles in, it’s smart to ensure your heating equipment is running safely and efficiently.


A little maintenance now can prevent costly repairs, improve energy efficiency, and keep your home cozy all season long.


Use this November HVAC checklist to make sure your system is ready for winter.


✅ 1.


Replace or Clean Your Air Filters


Dirty filters force your HVAC system to work harder, reducing airflow and efficiency.


For most homes, filters should be cleaned or replaced every 1–3 months.


Fresh filters keep the air cleaner and your system healthier.


✅ 2.


Check Thermostat Settings


Set your thermostat to a comfortable heating schedule for the colder months.


If you don’t already have one, consider upgrading to a smart thermostat to help manage energy use automatically.


✅ 3.


Clear Vents and Registers


Blocked vents can restrict airflow and create uneven temperatures.


Move furniture and rugs away from registers so warm air can circulate freely throughout your home.


✅ 4.


Inspect Outdoor HVAC Equipment


Make sure your heat pump or outdoor unit remains clear of leaves, snow, and debris.


Keep at least two feet of clearance around the unit to help it operate efficiently.


✅ 5.


Test Your Heating System


Turn your heating on before temperatures drop too low.


If you notice unusual noises, weak airflow, or cold spots, it’s time to schedule service.


✅ 6.


Seal Air Leaks


Check windows, doors, and attic access points for drafts.


Sealing air leaks can significantly reduce heating costs and keep warm air indoors where it belongs.


✅ 7.


Schedule Professional HVAC Maintenance


A professional inspection can catch small issues before they become major repairs.


The trained technicians at Twintech Heating & Cooling ensure your heating system, furnace, or heat pump is running safely, efficiently, and reliably.


Stay Warm With Twintech Heating & Cooling


Preparing your HVAC system in November sets the stage for a comfortable and stress-free winter.


Whether you need routine maintenance, repairs, or a new heat pump installation, Twintech Heating & Cooling is here to help.


Stay cozy, stay safe, and enjoy the season with expert HVAC care you can trust.

Appreciated a quick response to my request. Dave and Greg were very professional and made the experience seamless.

by petesalmon938 from Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Very professional through the entire process. Installation and removel was done on a sloppy winter day, they put down runners on the floors and stairs and when they left, there wasn;t any sign of someone being in our house. Furnace works great as promised.

by alenahawco from Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Dave was very pleasant to deal with and Twintech responded quickly when our furnace needed to be replaced ASAP. Installation was done on time and the crew were neat and tidy. We now have a great furnace that suits the needs of our family.

by Isatta From Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

When your furnace kicks in over the holidays and you're not sure where to turn.. I'm so thankful that this company returned my phone call. I appreciated their transparency and clarity which allowed me to make an informed decision. With various quotes thrown at you, it can be difficult to make the right decision and trust the solutions offered by different companies. TwinTech spoke the truth and delivered on their word. Neat, timely and clean service; the peace of mind I needed during a very cold holiday season. I highly recommend them!

by eryna from Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Pulling a old unit out and installing a modern heating system! Required drilling holes in the wall for the newer pipes. We went from 70% (I am willing to bet it was far less due to lack of maintenance and just old) to 96% newer . It now feels warmer and more pressure and we use to run extra heaters and feel as though they are not necessary!

by silvercola from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I received three quotes before deciding to choose Twintech. Dave's prices was much more reasonable than the competitors. I most appreciated their honest recommendations. Others tried to oversell their products and services. Thank you Dave!

by Shane from Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

They had the best price and did a great job on the installation. Recommend them to anyone.

by Linda, Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My 19 year old furnace stopped working when the cold weather hit in November, and I was left without heat. I interviewed several companies and found TWINTECH HEATING and COOLING to be very knowledgeable, quick to respond to my inquiries and very competitively priced.
Dave provided all of the information and pricing ahead of time and set up the appointment for the installation. Greg and Mitch arrived on time to do the installation and worked quickly and efficiently to complete the job.
After the completion of the installation, Dave followed up to ensure that everything was working well and that I didn't have any concerns.
Overall, this was a low-stress and flawless experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend TWINTECH HEATING and COOLING to anyone that requires a new furnace.

by Sean, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Our 20 year old furnace broke down during the first cold weekend this past November and our usual HVAC company never returned our phone call. Their loss, missing out on a sale since we didn't want to spend much fixing an old furnace and our 40 year old air conditioner was also long overdue for replacement. We proceeded in obtaining three different quotes for furnace and air conditioner replacement, and proceeded with the one we received from Twintech.


Dave was friendly, knowledgable and accommodating to our schedule and provided with us with a price that fell in the middle of the three quotes that we had. We felt that the Amana furnace and air conditioner he quoted us on were the best products and value offered to us and felt most comfortable with the professionalism and reputation of Twintech.


Greg, Grant and Mitch were at our house for installation the day after we decided to proceed. The guys were friendly and informative, the job was completed efficiently and workmanship appears excellent. Our house is certainly much more comfortable with the new two-stage variable speed Amana furnace compared to the old clunker! And, we're looking forward to enjoying the new air conditioner once summer rolls around again. Thanks Twintech!

by Aaron on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We are very happy to recommend this company to everyone. Our furnace broke down on Sunday morning. We phoned them and before noon Grant the owner showed up. He worked on the furnace for about a hour not wanting to give up to fix the problem. The furnace was 17 years old. I was the one talking about replacing it. End result was the next day it was all done. On the Sunday Bob came over with heaters to warm up the house. We decided to replace the water heater at the same time. Thanks Grant for the excellent work. Thumbs up.

by Linda on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Right on time. Explained how to work the HRV in a different way so the house would not be so dry. Changed my whole house water filter for me as well. Friendly, helpful, caring service!

by Robert Rogers on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Very pleased with the professional service that TwinTech Heating and Cooling provided in replacing my furnace. I got several quotes from different service providers. Their price was excellent and they explained the features very well. We are very glad we went with TwinTech and highly recommend their services.

by Robert Mizuno on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We were new homeowners in need of a second opinion. TwinTech Heating & Cooling were Amazing and professional. Very knowledgeable and great service all around. Recommend to anyone looking for honest and reliable services. Treated with respect and care. Thank you Greg, Mitch and Bob!

by Ruth on Twintech Heating and Cooling

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!
