As the temperatures outside get colder, many people begin to wonder if the temperature outside affects their furnace. After all, furnaces are responsible for keeping homes warm and comfortable during the winter months. The answer is yes – outdoor temperatures can certainly have an effect on your furnace’s performance. Below outlines everything you need to know:

In the simplest terms, colder outside temperatures can affect your furnace because it is your furnace’s responsibility to draw in cold air from the outdoors and heat it up before releasing it into the home. This means that even if you have a well-maintained furnace, colder outdoor temperatures will cause more strain on the furnace as it works to meet your home’s temperature setting.

The colder the outdoor temperatures get, the harder your furnace will work to keep up with the thermostat settings in your home. This is why some people choose to lower their thermostat slightly when they notice that the outside temperatures are dropping. This will reduce the strain on your furnace and it can help save money on energy bills.

As the temperatures outside drop, it’s important to make sure that you have your furnace inspected and serviced regularly. A professional technician from Fry Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning can inspect your system to make sure it is operating safely and efficiently. Regular maintenance will help ensure your furnace is well-maintained and running properly, even in colder weather.
