Having a Warm Home this Winter

The HVAC system of your home is important. This is because you will need to rely on it to heat your home and keep you comfortable. If the system is not working well, then you have a colder home. The system should be properly maintained and inspected on a regular basis. This will help improve the performance and the overall efficiency of it. Without regular maintenance, parts will start to wear and fail more quickly than they otherwise should. The end result can be costly repair bills. It might even mean that your monthly energy bills have increased as well.

Filter changes are important

Make sure that the filter is changed for the system. If the filter is clogged, it can put extra strain and stress on the furnace. This will require the parts to be replaced more often than they otherwise should. If you are not sure what filter your system needs, contact us. We can recommend what one you need. It can also be beneficial if you keep an extra filter on hand, incase you suddenly need to replace it. This works great if you need to replace the filter on the weekend or holiday.

Remember the other parts

You should also take a few extra minutes and have the ductwork inspected. Any sign of damage will result in the heat being released and wasted. Instead of heating your home, the heat will just leak out through a crack. This can lead to an increase in monthly energy bills because they system will always be working. It will also be important to check the thermostat in your home. If the set temperature is different than the actual temperature, it can indicate an issue with it. We can inspect it for you to ensure everything is correctly working with it.
