5 Ways to Prepare Your Furnace for a Minnesota Winter

Visual inspection: Before turning on your furnace, test the smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors in your home. When you turn on the furnace, look at its flame. If the flames are red, orange or inconsistent in color, turn off the unit and schedule furnace service. We’ll make sure your furnace starts up and works the way it should.

Replace the air filter: Make sure you have new Furnace Filters and replace the filter in your furnace every month. A dirty filter not only increases the risk of damage, it also hinders air flow and makes the furnace work harder than necessary, which will increase your power bill.

Housekeeping: The room your furnace is in should be free of clutter to ensure the equipment has proper air flow. If you have a cat, do not place the litter box in the same room as the furnace because the ammonia fumes will corrode the furnace’s heat exchanger and pass the odor throughout your home. Inspect your home for items blocking the registers, or vents, such as furniture, books or boxes. Blocking the flow of air will cause the furnace to heat your house unevenly and work harder than necessary. This could lead to the need for Furnace Repair Brooklyn Park.

Home Winterization: The tighter your home’s seal is, the less the furnace has to work to maintain comfortable temperatures as there are fewer air leaks and energy transfers. Homeowners can take the following steps to winterize their homes:

• Sealing holes and cracks on exterior and interior walls
• Upgrading to double- or triple-pane windows, installing low-emissivity window films, or hanging heavy curtains over windows
• Installing gasket covers behind receptacle and light switch plates along exterior walls to reduce drafts
• Sealing gaps around windows and doors with weather stripping and door sweeps

It is also a good idea to double-check your thermostat to ensure it has the correct settings and temperatures. Simple Maintenance and Repair will save you money in the long run.
