HVAC Winter Preparation and Tips
- Schedule an HVAC inspection and maintenance with one of our experienced technicians. We can make any necessary adjustments, ensure ventilation is unobstructed and secure, and suggest updates for better efficiency. Inspection and maintenance can help you avoid potential mid-season, costly repairs and replacements.
- Clean or replace air filters. Inspecting, cleaning, and replacing air filters each season reduces air pollution, increases furnace efficiency, and prolongs the life of your HVAC system.
- Check your thermostat and consider upgrades. Check your thermostat for any faults, replace batteries, or make sure that the power source is good, and if needed, install a programmable thermostat. Programmable thermostats ensure accurate heating and cooling and can be adjusted when you’re away from home to help conserve energy.
Cold Weather Preparation Tips at Home
- Seal air leaks. Doors and windows may have leaks that allow cold air in and warm air out. Use caulking to seal any leaks around windows, weather stripping for around doorways, and invest in a door stopper-draft blocker for your doorways to reduce any drafts.
- Vent check. Make sure nothing is blocking your vents so heated air flows directly where it needs to go unobstructed.
- Close your window drapes or shutters for extra insulation against cold temps. If there is any mid-day sun, allow it to come in to heat your space, but keep drapes and shutters closed through the night and early morning hours.
- If you have a fireplace, wood-burning stove, or other solitary heat source, you can close off unused rooms to keep the heat where you want it.
