As we ring in the New Year, don’t forget to add your furnace to your resolution list! A little care goes a long way in keeping your home warm and your heating system running smoothly all winter. Here are three simple steps to ensure your furnace is ready to handle Minnesota’s coldest months:
1. Change the Air Filter
A clean air filter is essential for maintaining your furnace’s efficiency and improving your home’s indoor air quality. A dirty filter makes your furnace work harder, which can increase energy costs and wear on the system.
Pro Tip: Set a reminder to check and replace your air filter every 1-3 months, depending on usage and the type of filter you have.
2. Check the Thermostat
Your thermostat plays a crucial role in maintaining a comfortable home. Consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat for better energy management. These devices allow you to set schedules, so your furnace only works hard when it needs to.
Benefits:
Save on energy bills
Keep your home cozy on your schedule
3. Schedule a Tune-Up
Regular furnace maintenance is key to its longevity and efficiency. A professional tune-up ensures your system is operating safely and effectively.

Catch minor issues before they turn into costly repairs
Improve energy efficiency
Extend the lifespan of your furnace
