Since we\u2019re in Texas, we don\u2019t have to endure the harsher winters that our neighbors in other parts of the country do. However, the temperatures are still going to drop significantly compared to the sweltering summers, so it makes sense to do your due diligence and prepare your furnace for the colder months ahead.<\/p>\n

But what exactly does that look like? \u201cPreparing your furnace\u201d is a vague and imprecise phrase, so that doesn\u2019t give you a whole lot of direction. Well, have no fear! We\u2019ve taken a few of our most reliable and time-tested furnace-preparation tips and compiled them here for you. Take the time to perform a few of them, and you and your family will be cozy and comfortable all winter long!<\/p>\n

Flip That Filter<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the most essential components of your HVAC system isn\u2019t a complicated mechanical part or a flimsy metal duct. Although those are indeed important, your air filter is just as integral. While you should be replacing your air filter every 30 days, we recommend going ahead and switching it out again before beginning to use your furnace.<\/p>\n

The sudden change in airflow (from AC to furnace) can play tricks on your HVAC system, so it make sense to start with a clean slate, so to speak. That way, this brand-new filter will only be screening air that has been heated.<\/p>\n

Test it First<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Similarly, we highly suggest testing your furnace ahead of time to make sure it\u2019s all working properly. We\u2019d hate for the temperatures to drop and have you flip on your furnace, only to discover that some part has gotten jarred loose or a faulty pilot light won\u2019t ignite correctly.<\/p>\n

Just take a few minutes to test your furnace now while you can still afford to live comfortably without running it. That way, you\u2019ll be able to schedule an inspection or appointment with a technician who will fix your issue before it gets too cold.<\/p>\n

Have It Inspected<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This piggybacks off the previous tip, but it\u2019s arguably more important. You can do all the home-DIY jobs in the world to safeguard your furnace from leakage and breaks, but only the eye of a trained professional will catch everything.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s critical to schedule a comprehensive inspection when winter rolls around. An expert will notice things you\u2019d never dream of seeing, and they\u2019ll be able to tell you which problems need fixing now — and which ones can wait.<\/p>\n

In fact, a lot of manufacturer\u2019s warranties and maintenance clubs require yearly inspections around this time of year for that exact reason. We recommend the same, because we think you\u2019ll be better off for it.<\/p>\n
