Get Your HVAC System Ready for Winter
As temperatures drop and winter approaches, ensuring your HVAC system is ready for the cold is essential for home comfort and energy efficiency. A well-maintained system can help prevent costly breakdowns and keep your home cozy all season long.
Schedule a Professional HVAC Inspection
Start by scheduling a professional HVAC inspection. A certified technician can check for potential issues, clean essential components, and ensure optimal performance. Don’t forget to replace or clean air filters every 1-3 months to maintain efficient heating and better indoor air quality.
Seal Duct Leaks to Save Energy
Inspect your ductwork for any visible gaps or damage. Sealing leaks can prevent heat loss and reduce energy bills. Also, test your thermostat and set it to “heat” mode. Upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat can save energy by adjusting temperatures when you’re away or sleeping.
Keep Heating Equipment Clear and Safe
Keep the area around your furnace clear of clutter and flammable materials. Additionally, test carbon monoxide detectors regularly to stay safe, especially if you have a gas-powered heating system. If your system has an outdoor heat pump, clear away leaves, snow, and debris to ensure proper operation.By following these essential HVAC maintenance tips, you can stay warm, save energy, and avoid unexpected breakdowns this winter.
