Fall is just around the
corner, bringing with it changing leaves and cooler weather. When those first
cold nights hit, the last thing you want is for your heating to stop working. Heating repair experts offer these tips to
keep your system running smoothly and to keep you ready for fall and winter
weather.
Focus
on Preventive Maintenance
While many of us ignore our
heating or cooling systems until we face a costly problem, with just a little
preventative maintenance you can ensure your heating system will be ready to go
when cool weather hits. If you have a furnace, replace your filters regularly
to avoid accumulated dirt and guarantee efficient heat. Clean your heater or
regulator and make sure it isn't crowed by potential fire hazards like
furniture or drapes. Do a quick visual inspection for any rust or other
corrosion and call for annual system maintenance before the cool season hits.
Plan
for Energy Efficiency
Many of us are looking to
stay comfortable but also take care of the environment. By setting your
thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter you can help reduce your carbon
footprint and lower your costly heating bills. Properly insulating your pipes
and following basic maintenance also helps prevent emissions and increase your
savings - up to 30% off your normal bill according to Energy.gov.
Know
Who to Call if You Need Repairs
Despite our best efforts,
sometimes our systems simply don't work when we need them to. The time to
choose a maintenance service is before you find yourself in desperate need.
Choose a local company with experience in your area and which offers service on
your schedule. Look for professional qualifications as well as a record of
dedicated customer service.
