Tips to Keep You Warm and Comfortable This Cold Season:
Winter is officially here whether we like it or not. With the days getting shorter and the weather outside getting colder and colder, we need to stay indoors more often. It is very important to find ways to stay as warm as we can be inside during this cold season. If you are struggling with ways to do this, check out our tips to make sure you are cozy this winter.
1: Scheduling a Preventive Maintenance Appointment During The Cold Season
Just as your car getting regular checkups to make sure that it is running properly, your heating systems need the same amount of attention. This makes sure that it is running the best that it can and that everything is working in order as it should be. Our well-trained team of experienced technicians at Baer Heating and Cooling will do their part by running an energy check, inspecting the internal and external parts of your furnace, and letting you know if anything needs adjusted or if your furnace needs any types of repairs. Doing this will give you peace of mind to know that everything is running smoothly and that you will have the proper heating your family deserves in the wintertime.
2: Check Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
We all hate to admit it, but most of us are not the best when checking the batteries on our smoke detectors until we start hearing that obnoxious beeping noise throughout the house. Since it is the new year, this is a perfect time to check on those important detectors to make sure they are in proper working order for you and your family. Safety is the most important thing, especially when you’re in the comfort of your own home.
3: Changing Your Air Filters During the Cold Season
Air filter maintenance is a simple task that is easily forgotten about in most households. Recommended, you should be cleaning or going to the next step in replacing your filters every month or every other month. Cleaning your air filters will bring cleaner air into your home and will also help with your system’s overall work quality during this cold season.
4: Take a Look at Your Ceiling Fans
Something that many homeowners may not know about their ceiling fans is that they are reversible and don’t have to produce cold air. We understand that the word “fan” can be something that sounds only like cold weather. However, if you simply flip the little switch on the top of your fan, you will start feeling warmer air unlike cooler air that you would prefer more in the summer times. Doing this will give you extra comfort and add some warmth to your house during this very chilly season. Can’t find the switch? It’s different for many fans. Check on the type of fan you have and look for either a horizontal or vertical switch. Trust us, every ceiling fan has one for these purposes.
