This has been an unusual summer season with cool temperatures in August and really warm temperatures in September\/October but it finally looks like Fall is in the air. Sweaters and light jackets are now used on a regular basis with the cool nights and cooler early mornings. This also means it’s time for warm air to run through the duct system to maintain a comfortable temperature inside your home.
\n\"\"Here are some TIPS<\/a> to prepare your heating unit for the up-coming heating season:<\/strong>
\n*<\/strong> Check the filter and change if needed. Most furnaces are out of sight, tucked in a closet, small room, or in a basement and it’s easy to forget to check and change the filter regularly.
\n*<\/strong> Run the furnace\/heat pump BEFORE<\/em> you need heat. Remember, the furnace has set dormant for a few months and should be checked for proper operation so it will be ready when you need it.
\n*<\/strong> An open window or two is always a good idea on first startup of the furnace since dust can accumulate on the various controls and parts causing it to burn off and put out that familiar “smell” after setting inactive through the summer months.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to take for granted that our heating equipment will automatically work every time we turn it on, and most of the time it does, but with so many controls and parts that work season after season, they can begin to fail. The best approach is to be proactive and start your furnace or heat pump early and if it will not start or run properly, it’s time to call a HVAC Contractor<\/a> for an experienced technician to check and service the furnace, air handler, or heat pump so it is operating safely, efficiently, and ready to keep you and your family warm for the winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
