Ah, fall! The charming, cool breezes, the crinkle of leaves under your feet, the smell 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, but my to-do list includes things like cleaning out the gutters, celebration up non-perishables in the event of an ice storm when winter time season comes, plus decorating my cabin for fall holidays. But—and I say this with zero hesitation—the most important item on my fall to-do list is having my heater tested. Whether your cabin has a boiler, a baseboard heater, a heat pump system, or even those costly radiant floors, you want to make sure all of your Heating plus Air Conditioning equipment is in working order before the Fall chill kicks in. I made the mistake of skipping this item a few years ago; I thought, “My heater worked just wonderful last year, I don’t need to call out an Heating plus Air Conditioning contractor for no reason.” Boy, was I wrong, but on the first night of the season that I needed my heater, I was stunned to find that frigid air was coming out of the vents, as if the air conditioner was running—everyone in my cabin used space boilers to compensate, plus my buddy plus I ended up blowing a fuse! I’ll never make that mistake again. So, every fall, I have my trusted local Heating plus Air Conditioning contractor send a contractor out to examine plus test my heater, plus make any necessary repairs to my boiler. They almost consistently supply me with a current tip for achieving efficiency during the frigid months, so I consistently benefit from an Heating plus Air Conditioning contractor stopping by for a visit. Take my word for it: You don’t want to be stuck without a working heater this winter. So, add annual heater maintenance to your fall to-do list!
