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.

The work was done quickly and professionally. Workers were really polite and easy to work with.
Product works great!

by Gary in London on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Furnace broke down on a Wednesday, shopped around for prices and Friday Twintechs name came up from a referral from my wife's work. Called Dave 11 am, he came over around 1 pm. Gave me a very good price, I accepted. The guys were there two hours later to take the old furnace out and install the new one. All finished by 6:30pm. Finally heat.
They were very pleasant and helpful. As a result we are doing our A/C later this year with this company.

by Shawn L in Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

After some extensive research, we settled on Twintech for our new furnace. The service - from Dave's initial visit - through to the installation was absolutely fantastic.

Dave was super-patient with our many questions, did not try to "up-sell" us into buying things we don't need, knowledgeable, friendly and all-around an excellent Advisor.

I've forgotten the names of the installers but they were superb as well. They showed up on-time, did all the work with no mess or intrusion, removed the old furnace and installed the new one in one day; all with no impacts to our day-to-day life.

I cannot recommend Twintech enough, especially over any of 'bigger guys' who tried to sell us a bunch of thing we don't need. Twintech were fantastic and my wife and I are very pleased with our purchase.

by Stephen from Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

From the minute I met Dave and discussed my new furnace needs I knew I was in good hands. He was patient, knowledgeable and very professional through the quotation process.

Grant and Greg did an outstanding job on the install. They did a great job of explaining the defects with my old furnace. The quality of the installation was excellent and the attention to detail was on another level. The old adage “You get what you pay for” couldn’t be more true as I feel I received great value, skilled expertise and high quality customer service. I highly recommend Twintech for all your heating and cooling needs.

by Arthur on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Glad to have found a not-too-big local firm that provided the needed expertise, quality workmanship, and competitive pricing as well. In and out in one day, removed the old units, did a nice job installing all of the new units, and left no debris. Even have a service contract that far outshined the big company offerings. Would definitely recommend them.

by Leriksen on Twintech Heating and Cooling

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!
