With winter here, it's important to ensure your heating
system is in order. During these cold months, your heater or furnace will
become the primarily lifeblood of your home, and one of your biggest costs will
more than likely be the expenses associated with heating your home. Here are
some tips to help you get through the winter without having to spend an arm and
a leg.
Service on a routine
basis
The ideal times to have your heating system looked at. While
you can handle basis maintenance, an annual inspection is important in order to
avoid any costly repairs. Having a certified HVAC contractor can find potential issues before they become major repair costs.
Ceiling fans
Use ceiling fans to blow air upward during these cooler
times. Reversing the fan's direction moves the air upward, which is great for
rooms with high or vaulted ceilings where heat naturally rises and is pushed
back down.
Inspect your heating
vents
Ensure all your heating vents are opened and not blocked by
items like furniture. This will allow your home to receive an even distribution
of air. If there are rooms in your home not being used, close those vents in
order to cut down on what you spend on energy costs.
