How to Get Your Home Ready for Winter

Dependable Service Since 1926

Winter is here, and it’s important that you make sure your home is ready for it. Your heating system should be in top condition, obviously, but that’s not the only thing you should be looking at. If you really want to make sure that your home is as ready for winter as possible, it’s important to take a number of different steps. Let’s take a look at some of those steps now.

Heating Maintenance

Winter is the time of year when heating systems are used the most. Longer operating hours mean more wear and tear on the system, which means a greater chance for problems to occur. If you want your heating system to get through the winter in the best possible condition, you need to take steps to mitigate the effects of this wear and tear. Preventive heating maintenance is the best way to do that, as it allows your heating technician to find and fix problems before they can develop too far. Make sure you schedule heating maintenance before it gets too deep into the season.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors

If you don’t have carbon monoxide detectors, install them. If you have carbon monoxide detectors, get them checked. Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas that is produced as a byproduct of combusting natural gas, which many heating systems run on. The systems are designed to safely dispose of this gas, of course, but there is always a chance that the heat exchanger will crack and leak it into the home. Carbon monoxide detectors are a vital part of keeping your home safe throughout the year, as carbon monoxide does occur naturally. However, it’s especially important during the winter, when you’re using your heater all the time.
