Essential Furnace Check

Do A Furnace Check Before Winter Sets In

Winter is here and it’s time to start thinking about that furnace being turned on. Before you flip the switch, there are a few things you should do to the furnace and your home to safeguard your transition to winter.

Here at Anderson Air Corps we understand that you need your home to be warm and cozy for your family. We can provide you with some DIY tips and tricks to help make that happen. Our technicians can assist you with any heating system, furnace, or furnace repair you may need along the way. Check out these steps you should take before you turn on the furnace this winter.

Clean/Change the Filter

One of the first things that need to be done as part of furnace check before turning on the system is the furnace filter. Get a new fresh filter to start off the season with. This will help you reduce the risk of dusty and smoky smells coming through your home, and will stop any extra debris from last year from irritating your family.

Open All The Vents

Make sure that all the vents are opened throughout the home. This can cause problems with air coming through to heat your home if not. You may have closed vents at the end of the season last year and so it’s best to just check it before you turn it on.

Clean Around The Furnace

Make sure the area around your furnace is clean and free of any dirt or debris. If you have a gas furnace with a pilot light, simple debris could be a huge safety problem. Make sure it is cleaned and ready to go before hitting the switch.

Check Thermostat Settings

You want to review your current thermostat settings to make sure it is at a reasonable temperature before starting it back up. This is also where a programmable thermostat can come in handy. Set it and forget it!

Change The Batteries In CO And Smoke Detectors

Make sure you have fresh batteries to start off the season in your detectors. If you have a gas furnace it is a must to have the carbon monoxide detectors in your home. Make it part of your winterizing to change out the batteries before starting up your furnace.
