The First Five Ways to Prepare for Winter
- Have your furnace cleaned & checked annually before the heating season begins. Just like a human needs a physical check-up to avoid health problems, your home or business heating system needs a check up to keep it running smoothly and to keep any manufacturer's warranty intact.
- The fall is a good time to check and clean your outside air conditioning condenser unit. Any debris (leaves, twigs etc.) should be removed and cleared away from unit. The condenser is best protected from ice and debris with a vinyl cover, leaving an air space at the bottom to reduce any condensation during the winter months.
- Check and change or clean your furnace filter monthly.
- Check your fuel level and keep it filled up by your local oil or gas provider.
- Call a professional to have your comfort system serviced for fall & winter. Tell the technician when you set up the appointment of anything unusual you have noticed about your comfort system--- noises, odors, or efficiency problems. They will take extra care to search out and correct this problems.
