Preparing for the inevitable…
Well… we had a nice summer and fall is beautiful but…. If you live in Ohio you know what is lurking right around the corner so we’re not even going to say the word 😊 We still have some time left to enjoy the beauty of Fall and the refreshingly cool temps however but this is also a good time to begin preparing.
Furnace maintenance in the fall is crucial to ensure your system is operating correctly for the upcoming season (we’re really not saying it 😊). To get the most from your heating and cooling system, remember to perform these tasks this autumn.
1. Clean your vents
Dust and other debris will build up in your Furnace & Vents during the summer. When Autumn hits we recommend that customers check for any blockages and clean all their vents. This alone can save up to 10% in heating bills this winter.
2. Clean Your Outdoor Units
While the leaves falling are beautiful, but they can also have a very negative impact on your HVAC units. A lot of customers will make sure to remove the leaves from their yard but disregard their HVAC units. These leaves, along with dust, dirt and twigs get into your outdoor unit and can cause issues down the road.
3. Clogging in the Condensate Drain Line
A clog in the condensate drain line can spell bad news your heating and cooling systems. Regular maintenance can usually prevent this by pouring a solution of bleach and water through the line to help prevent clogs from forming. If you are not confident in doing this, please contact us and we would be glad to come out and assist.
4. Scheduled Maintenance
The routine maintenance listed above will go a long way towards the health and efficiency of your Furnace and Air Conditioning systems. Most manufactures recommend Bi-Annual service maintenance on units as well. We offer multiple different levels of service agreements that are very affordable and offer a “set it and forget” solution to your heating and cooling maintenance.
As always if you need any service for your central heating system please contact us at Alpine Heating and Cooling.
