How to Prepare Your Furnace for the Winter

How to Prepare Your Furnace for the Winter

Now that summer’s finally over, it’s time to get your furnace ready for the winter season. There are a few things that homeowners should do to prepare their furnace for the winter. 

The first thing you should do is change the air filter. Not only will a clean air filter be good for your family’s health, but it will also keep your furnace running smoothly and keep dust particles out of your HVAC system. Next, turn on the heat setting on your thermostat. Once the furnace is on, open every air vent in your home. Not only do blocked vents lead to higher energy bills, but they can also cause your furnace to overheat and eventually breakdown. Most importantly, ensure there is a working carbon monoxide detector on every floor of your home. 

Keeping your furnace well maintained will ensure that it runs smoothly and efficiently throughout the winter. Annual furnace maintenance checks should always be completed by a trained professional. Licensed technicians will thoroughly clean your furnace and check for the correct gas pressure and temperature rise. Additionally, they will also check for any cracks in the heat exchanges for carbon monoxide levels coming out of your furnace exhaust. Cracks can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be dangerous and harmful to your family’s health. HVAC technicians can repair these cracks and ensure your family is comfortable and safe during the winter months. 

It is also advised to cover your central air conditioner during the winter months to protect it from the elements and to keep leaves and debris from accumulating inside the unit. We can provide you with a factory-fitted cover that is designed specifically for your air conditioner. For any help, please do not hesitate to contact a licensed professional at Twintech Heating & Cooling. 

At Twintech, we want to ensure you and your family stay warm this winter. If your furnace needs to be repaired or maintained, visit our website or give us a call at 1-844-894-6832. We can schedule an appointment with one of our reliable technicians, as well as offer more information about the products and services we offer. Call Twintech today!

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!

by Trevor Owens on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I returned from vacation to find my AC unit on the Fritz. After calling way too many places I connected with TwinTech. I’ve used the company in the past for my furnace so I was happy when I recognized Greg at my front door. He’s great and the service is always top notch. I’d highly recommend using twintech for honest, superior service in the Durham region. Thanks!

by Nicole Alain on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I called Twin Tech when my air conditioning stopped working. Greg came over to diagnose the issue - the same day. He was able to diagnose the issue and resolve it quite quickly. Although it was a quick fix, Greg was very thorough in explaining the issue and provided great advice. Not to mention, I felt very comfortable having Greg in my home - which I consider very important when hiring a service provider. Twin Tech will be my go-to from now on. Thank you!!

Twintech Heating & Cooling installed my furnace in 2022 and in fall of 2023 installed my Panasonic Heat Pump. Greg and Mitch did a great job. Helped me through the rebate process. Super happy with the Heat Pump. Only used my furnace 5 times this winter. Energy bills lower, carbon emissions lower.Thank you Twintech. I recommend highly!
