Winter Heating Equipment Checklist
Here are some things you’ll need to consider when it comes to maintaining your heating system. Some of these tasks you’ll be able to do yourself, while others require a professional.
- Replace filters
Inspect, clean or change air filters before winter to ensure warm air can flow freely throughout your home. This will also ensure that you do not experience an increase in energy costs or damage to your equipment.
- Check the fuel
If you utilize a propane or oil furnace, make sure your fuel storage tank is ready to go.
- Examine ducts
Check air ducts and heating pipes to ensure they are properly sealed.
- Open air vents
Make sure your air vents are open. Blocked vents make your furnace work harder and put you at risk of starting a fire. Move furniture and anything that obstructs airflow.
- Get a tune-up and inspection
A well-maintained heating system will run efficiently, allowing you to save money on your energy bills and prevent costly repairs. Precision Heating & Air offers several customized maintenance programs to fit your needs.
- Examine electrical connections
During the winter months, you must inspect electric terminals. If necessary, clean and tighten connections and apply a non-conductive coating.
- Remove blockages
Inspect ducts, filters, and blower for dirt or other obstructions to ensure warm air can flow freely.
- Replace your heater if necessary
If your heater is outdated or simply inefficient, now is the time to replace it with a new, energy-saving model.
- Winterize your AC unit
Don’t forget to mind your air conditioning unit! Winterizing your AC unit will protect it from the winter elements and can help you save on costly repair bills when the warm weather hits.
