Heating season has arrived across Metro Vancouver, making this the perfect time to schedule furnace service before colder weather sets in. Whether you have a gas furnace or a gas boiler, a little preventative maintenance now can help keep your home warm, safe and comfortable all winter long.
Every fall, Warrior Plumbing’s Homeowner Service Manager, Louis Rattlesnake, sends our team the same reminder to ask our homeowner clients:
“Heating season is upon us. Winter is coming! When did you last change your furnace filter?”
It’s a simple question, but an important one.
Whether your home is heated by a gas furnace or a gas boiler, a little preventative maintenance now can help improve efficiency, reduce energy costs and lower the risk of unexpected heating problems later in the season.
One of the simplest places to start is your furnace filter.
A Clean Furnace Filter Helps Your Heating System Work More Efficiently.
Health Canada recommends cleaning or replacing your furnace filter regularly, following the manufacturer’s instructions. As a practical reminder, Louis recommends checking your filter every month during heating season.
Many standard filters need replacing every 1 to 3 months, depending on the filter type, furnace use, and household conditions such as pets and dust.
Since You’re Already There…
If you’re already in your mechanical room, take a few extra minutes to inspect the area and look for anything unusual.
Winter Home Checklist
• Inspect or replace your furnace filter.
• Ensure nothing is blocking your furnace or gas boiler.
• Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
• Check around your hot water tank or tankless water heater for moisture.
• Look for plumbing leaks or dripping valves.
• Listen for unusual noises when the heating system starts.
