With the winter approaching, it's very important that your heating system is working properly and efficiently. Fortunately, as long as you know what steps to take, and are willing to put in a bit of time and effort, it's definitely something you can handle. During the fall this year, schedule some time to take care of the tasks we cover in the checklist below.

Clean Dust & Debris

Loose dust, dirt, and debris can find their way into your furnace and your home's air vents, causing clogs that put extra pressure on your heating system. Before the winter months arrive, use a vacuum extension hose to thoroughly clean the inside of each vent, as well as the inner chamber of your furnace.

Replace Your Furnace Air Filter

When your furnace's air filter gets too dirty or clogged up, it makes it much harder for the appliance to successfully pull air through it. This causes energy waste and extra wear and tear on the furnace. To avoid these issues, simply make a point to replace the filter on a monthly basis. 

Seal Up Any Leaks

Little cracks and air leaks frequently occur around the edges of a home's windows and doorways. These little leaks allow warm air to escape and cold air to find its way in, forcing your furnace to compensate for it. Before the winter arrives, search your home for these leaks and get them all sealed up.

Get a Furnace Tune-Up

To make sure your furnace doesn't break down or struggle to heat your home, have a professional technician come give it a tune-up. Aire One Heating & Cooling can reliably provide this type of maintenance.

Don't wait around too long this fall to get your household prepared for the cold season. As long as you take good care of your heating system, it will take good care of you as well.
