Ah, fall! The appealing, cool breezes, the crinkle of leaves under your feet, the odor of pumpkin-themed desserts: what’s not to love? Just like every other change in season, the onset of fall requires paying attention to your seasonal to-do list.
My to-do list includes things like cleaning out the gutters, celebration up non-perishables in the event of an ice storm when winter season comes, and decorating my house for fall holidays. But—and I say this with zero hesitation—the most pressing item on my fall to-do list is having my furnace took care of. Whether your house has a boiler, a baseboard furnace, a heat pump system, or even those costly radiant floors, you want to make sure all of your Heating and Air Conditioning equipment is in working order before the Autumn chill kicks in. I made the mistake of skipping this item a few years ago; I thought, “My furnace worked just enjoyable last year, I don’t need to call out an Heating and Air Conditioning contractor for no reason.” Boy, was I wrong. On the first night of the season that I needed my heater, I was stunned to find that chilly air was coming out of the vents, as if the air conditioner was running—all the people in my house used space boilers to compensate, and my buddy and I ended up blowing a fuse! I’ll never make that mistake again. So, every fall, I have my trusted local Heating and Air Conditioning company send a contractor out to examine and test my furnace, and make any necessary repairs to my boiler. They almost constantly supply me with a new tip for achieving efficiency during the chilly months, so I constantly benefit from an Heating and Air Conditioning contractor stopping by for a visit. Take my word for it: You don’t want to be stuck without a working furnace this winter. So, add annual furnace service to your fall to-do list!
