The Quick Guide to Perfect Home Heating
If you’re cringing at the idea of extra chores, you can relax! These take very, very little time and are essentially (nearly) free of cost:
- If you’ve got an air filter, change it. If you rely on a furnace you need to replace your air filter. Doubly so if your central cooling shares space with the furnace. A clean filter is key to higher efficiency, cleaner home air, and fewer hiccups from your system mid-season. And be sure to keep changing it every month or two!
- Clean vents, air returns, etc. Anything that moves air also moves dust, pet dander, mold spores, pollen—you get the idea. Be sure to clean your vents to improve air flow and give efficiency a boost.
- Switch your ceiling fans. While not specifically heating system related, using your ceiling fans wisely can add a lot of comfort and help keep heating costs to a minimum. Ensure the fans are turned to run clockwise and they’ll push warmed air back down into the room, helping provide more even heating.
- Do a simple visual inspection. For furnaces take a look for cracks, dents, electrical connection security, et cetera just to head off any issues before the winter chill arrives.
- Schedule service. In the end nothing beats a professional service. A pre-season tune-up can help you reduce heating costs, get better heating quality, and preserves the lifespan of your heating system. Don’t miss out on annual heating maintenance!
