The last thing that any homeowner wants to experience is a furnace that isn’t ready to keep them warm when the weather takes a turn. Before we know it, fall is going to be upon us, and we will be turning the thermostat from cold to warm. You want to make sure that your furnace is up for the task. There are some things that homeowners need to make sure they have done to ensure their furnace doesn’t skip a beat when they make that switch from cooling to heating this fall. Hal Mechanical is here to share some tips to make sure your furnace is ready.

What Homeowners Need to Do to Get Their Furnace Ready for Fall

Take advantage of the perfect temperatures that we are experiencing now to prepare your furnace for the cold days ahead. Here is what you need to do:
– Replace the Filters: You should be replacing your filters on a regular basis to make sure your HVAC system gets the airflow it needs to function properly. Your filters allow that to happen, and it is always a good idea to do that as fall approaches so that your furnace is ready.
– Clean the Vents: If you look inside the vents of your home, do you see obstructions there? This is a good time to check all the vents to make sure that no one has stuck anything down them that could be problematic this winter.
– Test Carbon Monoxide Detectors: If there is a crack in the heat exchanger of your furnace, your home is at risk of a carbon monoxide leak. You need to have carbon monoxide detectors that are going to alert you to this dangerous problem. There is no other way to detect a leak since carbon monoxide is both colorless and odorless. Make sure the batteries in these detectors don’t need to be changed as well.
– Clean Around the Unit: You need to make sure that there is no debris that is being stored too close to the furnace in your home. This can be dangerous. Clear a path around the furnace to keep your home safe.
– Schedule a Tune-Up: It is highly recommended to have your furnace tuned up at least once a year, before you turn it on for the season, preferably. This is a great time for an HVAC technician to give your furnace a thorough inspection and look for any small repairs that might be necessary to ensure your furnace is running well and efficiently. It’s better to catch these small issues early on before they are an expensive repair. During a tuneup, a technician will also give your furnace a thorough cleaning to help it run more efficiently too.
