Extreme cold temperatures are expected in Toronto during the winter season. Just as we prepare ourselves for these frigid times, it's important to keep your systems in mind as well. Your furnace is responsible for providing heat in your home, and when temperatures are in the high negatives it can strain your system. However, there are some simple ways to prevent a furnace breakdown during the winter season, here’s how:

Stay On Top Of Regular Filter Changes
Your air filter traps the dust and debris that accumulates within your home. It has to be replaced every 30 to 90 days to avoid being clogged. What happens if you continue using an air filter that needs to be replaced? Well, your furnace will need to work extra hard to function. This puts your system at risk of breaking down, especially if it already is required to perform during extreme harsh weather conditions. Eliminate the extra strain by staying on top of regular filter changes.

Weatherize Your Home
Drafts that allow cold air to enter your home is not only unpleasant for your comfort, but also for your wallet. You want warm air to stay in your home, when there’s opportunity for it to escape, or for cold air to enter, your furnace will be continuously running. Not only is this inefficient but it will also lead to increased energy costs. Winterize your home to avoid overworking your furnace this season.
