Get your HVAC System Ready For Cold Weather

September 23, 2024

Believe it or not, winter will be here before you know it. As the temperature drops, the importance of keeping your home’s heating system in great shape rises.

Proper maintenance can help you stay warm this winter while saving you energy and money. Follow these tips to prepare your HVAC system for winter.

Change your furnace filter

A clean furnace filter is important for improving indoor air quality and keeping your system running efficiently. Replacing a dirty filter reduces the strain on your system, so be sure to change it when it’s dirty, or at least every three months.

Consider a smart thermostat

Installing a smart thermostat is a great choice for your home. Many smart thermostats have learning capabilities to automatically adjust your home’s temperature around your sleep and occupancy habits, saving you energy and money.

Schedule maintenance

Preventative maintenance keeps your HVAC system running smoothly, reduces the risk of costly repairs, and helps identify potential issues before they become major problems. Scheduling a check-up now might also help you avoid emergency repairs during the worst of winter.  

Consider an upgrade

If your HVAC system is nearing the end of its lifespan, consider replacing it before winter hits. Email or call Efficiency Smart at 877-889-3777 for expert advice on replacement options and information on available rebates.
