It’s that time of year again! As the cooler months arrive, it’s time to make sure your home is warm and ready for winter. Your furnace plays a key role in keeping your family cozy, but before you turn it on here are a few important steps will help ensure safe and efficient heating. At Fred Kau Plumbing & Heating Ltd., we care about your comfort and safety, which is why we recommend the following tips:
A clogged filter reduces airflow, forces your furnace to work harder, and can impact indoor air quality. Replace or clean the filter before turning on the heat. Don’t forget to continue to check it every 1–3 months throughout the season changing it when necessary.
Make sure your thermostat is working properly and set to heat. If you’re using a programmable or smart thermostat, schedule it to keep your home warm when you’re there and cooler while you’re away to conserve energy and save money.
Check that the area surrounding your furnace is free of storage boxes, cleaning supplies, or flammable materials. Good clearance reduces fire hazards and helps your system breathe.
Don’t wait for the first cold snap—turn your furnace on early in the season. This gives you time to spot unusual noises, odors, or uneven heating and give us a call if you suspect any deficiencies.
The best way to ensure safe heating is with an annual inspection. Our licensed technicians at Fred Kau Plumbing & Heating Ltd. will clean, test and tune your furnace so it runs safely and efficiently all season long.
