Preparing Your Heating System for Winter

1. Schedule a Pre-Winter Heating Check

Before temperatures plunge, it’s essential to have your heating system inspected by professionals who understand the unique challenges of Dayton’s climate. During your service appointment, expect:

• Comprehensive Inspection: Our technicians check electrical connections, thermostat calibrations, safety features, and overall system functionality.
• Cleaning & Lubrication: Essential components, including coils and fans, are cleaned and lubricated to ensure efficient operation.
• Early Issue Detection: Preventative maintenance catches minor issues before they escalate into major problems, saving time and money.

A recent review by Cassandra G. emphasized the relief of having a heating expert diagnose her system early in the season. “I discovered my issue in the morning and they had someone out the same day. It was outstanding service!” .

2. Optimize Home Efficiency

Maximizing your system’s performance not only keeps you cozy but also cuts down on energy bills. Consider these actionable steps:

• Thermostat Settings: Adjust your thermostat to a consistent, energy-saving temperature. Installing a programmable thermostat can automate these adjustments, ensuring your home remains comfortable while reducing wasted energy.
• Insulation and Sealing: Check doors, windows, and attics for drafts. Sealing these can dramatically boost heating efficiency.
• Regular Filter Changes: A clean filter ensures optimal airflow and should be replaced every 3–6 months, or as recommended by your technician.
