These tips will help ensure that not only is your furnace working, but also that it is fully optimizing its potential to heat your home efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Below are our 6 top tips to put on your furnace checklist:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/winterize-hvac-system-tips\/\">Winterize Your HVAC<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Making sure your HVAC system is protected from the winter weather is key to a functioning furnace. Be sure your unit is protected from excess snow and ice, and ensure some key steps to prepare your entire system for winter ahead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change Filters<\/strong> &#8211; This is good practice for your entire HVAC system, not just your furnace. Changing a filter is an easy task that improves your furnace function, saving on your heating bill.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check the Thermostat<\/strong> &#8211; Be sure to switch your thermostat over to heating from cooling as the cool weather comes in. Turn your heat up a few degrees to makes sure your furnace kicks in and let it run for a few minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Utilize Ceiling Fans<\/strong> &#8211; Ceiling fans are not just for keeping you cool! By switching them into reverse, they push warm air down, spreading it through your home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inspect Ducts and Vents <\/strong>&#8211; Look at your ducts and vent to make sure they are clean and not damaged, which can put excess stress onto your system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optimize Your Thermostat<\/strong> &#8211; Take the time to set your thermostat to a good schedule that keeps you comfortable but also saves on energy. Setting the temperature back up to 10 degrees while you sleep can be cost effective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_an_HVAC_Maintenance_Appointment_for_Your_Furnace\"><\/span>Consider an HVAC Maintenance Appointment for Your Furnace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pre-winter-furnace-checklist-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Furnace Checklist for Winter Cold\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-8320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pre-winter-furnace-checklist-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pre-winter-furnace-checklist-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/service-request.php\">HVAC maintenance<\/a> is the cornerstone of a well-functioning HVAC system.
