As we’re heading into the colder months, it’s important to prepare your home for the change in temperature.
We’ve gone ahead and created a Cold Weather Prep Checklist and a convenient, printable checklist so you can ensure your HVAC system and plumbing can handle the freezing temperatures of the coming months. Below are a few tips that are included on the full checklist.
Clean/replace the AC air filter. One of the common culprits for poor airflow and increased allergies is the air filters in your home.
Seal air leaks.Sealing air leaks around key areas like windows and doorways is one of the least expensive yet fiscally responsible things you can do.
Test your furnace to ensure it works. Test your furnace before you need it. When you turn up your thermostat, you may notice a slight burning smell. This is normal and results from any dust that may have accumulated on your unit. You may consider a furnace tune-up if your system is not performing to your standards.
Locate shut-off valves. It’s important to know where your shut-off valves are in the event that your pipes start to leak or burst. Make other family members aware in case of an emergency.
