Are You Ready for the Fall Heating Season?
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009 | Uncategorized
OK Kids are back to school.
With the days getting shorter and the outside temps starting to dip at night it will soon be heating season. Are you ready to warm things up in your house? Ok this may seem too soon, but it is never too early to insure that your heating system is in top shape.
What does taking care of you heating unit have to do with being green and saving money?
Heating efficiency has everything to do with being green and saving money. Losing heat out the chimney wastes energy. Losing heat out through the walls and ceiling is also wasteful. Using an electric heater…well you get the drift.
There are things you can do now that will save you on energy costs over the winters.
How about your forced air furnace? When was the last time you replaced the filter? This should be done monthly, especially if you have pets.
Let’s not forget the furnace cleaning. Most people have a maintenance contract that includes an annual heating tune-up. This keeps the furnace running in top form and will help conserve fuel and save on heating bills. When they clean the furnace they also can usually spot trouble before it starts.
So, don’t be caught out in the cold this winter by paying higher bills than you should. Get your heating system ready before it is too late.
