3 Ways to Make Sure Your Furnace is Ready for Fall

October 17, 2016

There are undoubtedly some things you do to get yourself prepared for fall in Laurel, like hang up your sweaters and plot your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are a couple things you could possibly forget about while doing your fall prep – like your furnace. We’re about to say goodbye to air conditioner weather and we’re diving into furnace season. Along with your routine furnace service from H&C Heating and Cooling, we have a few tips that can help keep you comfortable and get your furnace ready for its busy season.

  1. Check and Swap Out Your Air Filter
    This is basic advice for every season in Laurel. Before you make that switch from “cool” to “heat,” go swap out your filter from filthy to clean. A filthy filter means your furnace has to work harder to keep you warm which might negatively influence your comfort and result in higher bills.
  2. Unblock Heating Vents and Registers
    As you’ve moved furniture or brought more into the house, be sure you haven’t blocked any of your heating vents. A blocked vent has the chance to increase your utility expenses.
  3. Schedule Annual Furnace Service
    Fall is the ideal time in Laurel to get your furnace inspected by one of our professional technicians. We will do an in-depth inspection of your unit and ensure it will be in good working order for the approaching winter months in Laurel. Annual furnace service can help you get the most out of your furnace’s performance, and may also impact the life of your system. Not to mention that a large percentage of the emergency calls in the winter are attributed to a lack of maintenance.

We want you to enjoy every bit of the season in comfort. If you have any questions for us about getting your home ready for fall or need to schedule your annual furnace service give the pros at H&C Heating and Cooling a call at 301-960-3247.
