With just the right tips, your furnace can be all set for the cold. Here are a few steps you can start with as you get your furnace ready for winter.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Turn on the thermostat<\/strong>: One of the first things to do as you prepare the furnace for winter is to change the settings from cooling to heating. You should be able to feel a difference in the room temperature within a couple of minutes. If this does not happen, ensure that the connections are secure, and the system is turned on. You may have to call in the professionals if none of that does the trick.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change the air filters<\/strong>: Another important thing to do when preparing your furnace for winter is to ensure that the air filters are clean. Air filters should be changed regularly to ensure that the system remains efficient and lasts longer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean out the heat exchanger<\/strong>: Preparing your furnace for winter should include cleaning the heat exchanger as well. This should be done annually and by a technician who should also ensure there are no cracks that could lead to carbon monoxide leakage an poor performance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check the ventilation and carbon monoxide detectors<\/strong>: This should also be done by a qualified technician. Furnace vents can become clogged or develop cracks and leaks over time, any of these problems can cause carbon monoxide leaks which will prove dangerous to the people living in your home. Check that leaks are not occurring and replace the batteries in your carbon monoxide detector to ensure your family is protected.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Replace the filter and nozzle for an oil-powered furnace<\/strong>: If you have an oil-powered furnace, preparing your furnace for winter should include replacing the filter and nozzle. Because oil does not burn as cleanly as gas, this will keep the furnace running efficiently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Let_Galmiche_Sons_Help_When_Preparing_Your_Furnace_for_Winter\"><\/span>Let Galmiche &amp; Sons Help When Preparing Your Furnace for Winter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While there are some things that you can do to prepare your furnace for winter, some tasks will require to be handled by professionals.
