3 Ways to Make Sure Your Furnace is Ready for Fall

October 17, 2016

There are undoubtedly some things you do to get yourself prepared for fall in Arlington, like swap out your closet and think through your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are a couple things you may forget about while preparing for fall – like your furnace. We’re about to say see you later to air conditioner weather and we’re headed into furnace season. Along with your annual furnace service from Service Max Heating & Air Conditioning, we have a few tips that might help keep you comfy and get your furnace ready for its busy season.

  1. Check and Change Your Air Filter
    This is basic advice for every season in Arlington. Before you make that switch from “cool” to “heat,” go swap out your filter from dusty to clean. A dirty filter means your furnace has to work harder to keep you warm which may negatively impact your comfort and mean higher bills.
  2. Unblock Heating Vents and Registers
    As you’ve rearranged furniture or brought more into the house, be sure you haven’t blocked any of your heating vents. A blocked vent has the chance to raise your utility expenses.
  3. Schedule Annual Furnace Service
    Fall is the best time in Arlington to get your furnace looked at by one of our professional technicians. We will do a comprehensive inspection of your unit and ensure it will be in good working order for the approaching winter months in Arlington. Regular furnace service can help you get the most out of your furnace’s performance, and may also impact the life of your system. Not to mention that a large percentage of the emergency calls in the winter are attributed to a lack of maintenance.

We want you to enjoy every portion of the season in comfort. If you have any questions for us about getting your home ready for fall or need to arrange your regular furnace service give the pros at Service Max Heating & Air Conditioning a call at 360-255-5857.
