3 Ways to Make Sure Your Furnace is Ready for Fall

October 17, 2016

There are probably some things you do to get yourself prepped for fall in Lexington, like hang up your sweaters and think through your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are a couple things you might forget about while doing your fall prep – like your furnace. We’re about to say see you later to air conditioner weather and we’re diving into furnace season. Along with your routine furnace service from James Heating & A/C, Inc, we have a few tips that can help keep you comfortable and get your furnace prepped for its busy season.

  1. Check and Swap Out Your Air Filter
    This is easy advice for every season in Lexington. Before you make that switch from “cool” to “heat,” go switch out your filter from dusty to clean. A filthy filter means your furnace has to work harder to keep you warm which can negatively impact your comfort and lead to higher bills.
  2. Unblock Heating Vents and Registers
    As you’ve rearranged furniture or brought more into the house, make sure you haven’t blocked any of your heating vents. A blocked vent could increase your utility bills.
  3. Schedule Annual Furnace Service
    Fall is the best time in Lexington to get your furnace checked out by one of our highly-trained technicians. We will do an in-depth inspection of your unit and ensure it will be in good working order for the coming winter months in Lexington. Regular furnace service can help you get the most out of your furnace’s performance, and could also affect the life of your system. Not to mention that a large percentage of the emergency calls in the winter are due to lack of maintenance.

We want you to enjoy every bit of the season in comfort. If you have any questions for us about getting your home ready for fall or need to set up your routine furnace service give the experts at James Heating & A/C, Inc a call at 336-853-6070.
