These past couple of years, 2020 and 2021, taught us that our world is changing in such a way that if you have not yet seen the benefit of going digital, you are missing out: virtual classrooms, virtual meetings, virtual office spaces. Our world is different, and the likelihood of returning to anything that was “normal” before is still not looking very promising.
However, just because we must adjust to a new normal does not mean that everything else is falling apart. For example, your heating system upkeep will be imperative going into 2022. So, long as you keep doing routine maintenance on your furnace and follow our pre-winter checklist, you won’t have to worry about your furnace breaking down.
If you notice, so many companies are overbooked because more adults are working from home and are taking the extra time to make sure their heating systems are working well. Upper Arlington Heating & Air realized that a pre-winter checklist would be the desired tool that many homeowners can use this winter and the many more to come!
- Protect Your Pipes- Insulation of your pipes is critical in making sure they don’t freeze, leaving you with no hot water.
- Check Attic Insulation– Check to ensure you have proper venting.
- Check Your Fireplace. Many things can get stuck inside your fireplace that can cause fire hazards.
- Get Your Annual Tune-Up & Safety Check- Maintain your furnace by getting your tune-ups regularly as recommended.
- Inspect Electrical Components- Several things can cause electrical issues around your home. It is essential to check for all possible hazards.
- Check Thermostat Settings-This will help ensure your thermostat responds to the programming and any changes.
- Filter Changes-This will help with air quality in your home. You may not need to change your filter as often as you think, but getting in the habit of checking to see would ensure a heat.
Since we know how much our world can change in just a minute, so can our appliances at our homes. With constant changes going on, we recommend allowing our expert technicians to assist you with your furnace needs.
