September is a Month For HVAC and Home Preparation

As the colder months approach, it’s important to make sure that your home is well-insulated and that your heating system is in good working order.

Start by checking your heater and furnace to make sure that they’re clean and in good condition.

Then, take a look at your HVAC system and ductwork to see if there are any leaks or other damage. If you find any areas that need attention, be sure to repair them before turning on your heater for the season. Additionally, it’s a good idea to install a washable filter in your HVAC system and change it regularly throughout the winter. For homes with pet allergies or other respiratory concerns, using a HEPA filter can help to improve indoor air quality. As for the home itself, take a look at the windows and make sure that they close tightly and that there is no air getting into the house, especially on very windy days. A good working HVAC system wastes a lot of energy if the windows don’t seal the house well. A quick look in the attic of the house will tell you how well insulated it is. If you don’t see any fiberglass or other insulation in the attic above your ceilings then you could be losing a lot of the cool from the HVAC equipment in the summer as the roof can hold a lot of heat and heat up the house drastically without proper insulation. By taking these simple steps, you can help ensure that your home is warm and comfortable all winter long.
