Fall is officially upon us and the cooler temperatures are slowly creeping in. Before we know it, we will be relying on our heating systems to keep our Denver, NC homes warm and cozy. While the fall season is welcomed by many people, it also means that winter is right around the corner and it’s time to make sure that your heating system is prepared to do its job in the cold months of the year. It’s important to make sure that you’ve got the heat you need when you need it while simultaneously keeping your heating system running effectively and efficiently all fall and winter long. Below are some tips and tricks from the Custom Comfort LLC team to make sure you’re ready for the chilly months ahead.
Replace Your Air Filters
Your air filters not only trap indoor air pollutants and contaminants, but they also help keep your HVAC system running efficiently and effectively. When your air filters are dirty, they can block the airflow throughout your HVAC system causing your heating system to work harder than necessary to warm your Denver, NC home. Be sure to check your air filters once a month and change them out once every 1-3 months as needed. This will keep your home indoor air quality high and your HVAC system running efficiently and effectively.
Seal Any Leaks
Drafty windows and doors as well as poor overall home insulation are both one of the leading causes of high utility bills and overworked furnaces. The object isn’t just to heat your Denver, NC home but it prevent cold air from entering your home as well. Any leaks or cracks you have will let warm air escape while also letting cold air inside. This requires your furnace to work much harder to keep up. In turn, it raises your energy bills and adds unnecessary stress and wear to your furnace/heating unit. Be sure to check your home insulation and seal up and leaks you find.
Schedule Professional Heating System Maintenance
Finally, make sure you schedule your annual heating system maintenance service with your local HVAC contractor. Regular and professional HVAC maintenance service is the best thing you can do to keep your heating and air conditioning system running in tip top shape all year long. Our technicians will ensure that your Denver, NC heating unit is prepared to tackle the upcoming cold weather. If we see anything wrong with it, we will address it and repair it to prevent future costly repairs or premature breakdowns.
