How to Prep Your Furnace for a Minnesota Cold Snap

Written By Ashly Hughes

Minnesota winters are no joke — when the wind chill dips below zero, your furnace needs to be in top shape. Before the next cold snap hits, here’s how to make sure your system is ready:

  • Change your filter — a clogged one makes your furnace work harder.

  • Check your thermostat settings — set to heat, schedule is accurate.

  • Inspect vents and intakes — make sure they’re not blocked by snow or debris.

  • Schedule a quick tune-up — a technician can catch small issues before they become big problems.


Prep now and avoid the emergency calls later — because no one wants to deal with a blanket burrito emergency at 2 a.m.
