Following a pre-winter furnace checklist is a great way to avoid this. We have taken the guess work out of this by putting together our pre-winter furnace checklist for our customers. These steps will help you get your furnace ready for winter.<\/p>\n<p>Check out our pre-winter furnace checklist:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Change that Filter<\/strong> &#8211; Making sure your furnace has a fresh filter at the start of the cool season is a helpful piece of preventative maintenance. Doing this also helps to optimize your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/services.html\">HVAC<\/a> system, saving you on heating bills.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fire Up the Thermostat<\/strong> &#8211; Ensure your thermostat has been switched over to heating. Additionally, you want to set the temperature a few degrees higher than current room temperature and listen for the heating to kick on. Let it run for a few minutes. If this does not happen, it is time to call a professional.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dial Your Thermostat Down<\/strong> &#8211; This tip is a vital one for your pre-winter furnace checklist. Setting your thermostat down 7-10 degrees for at least 8 hours a day is a fantastic way to save money. There is no sense in heating an empty house or running the heat when everyone is tucked into bed. Customizing your heating schedule saves you money and greatly expands the life of your furnace.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check Vents<\/strong> &#8211; You want to ensure that all the vents in your house are clean and unobstructed. Good airflow makes your furnace more efficient.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check and Clean Ducts<\/strong> &#8211; Dirty or broken ducts drastically impact your heating bills and furnace effectiveness. Look for dents, holes, disconnections, mold, or dust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Schedule_an_HVAC_Inspection\"><\/span>Schedule an HVAC Inspection<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-saving-2-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"Pre-Winter Furnace Checklist\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-8526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pre-winter-furnace-checklist-saving-2-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pre-winter-furnace-checklist-saving-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After these DIY furnace checklist items are done, the final step is to schedule a professional HVAC inspection.
