Getting your HVAC ready for cool weather

Preventative maintenance on your HVAC system during fall and winter prepares your furnace or heat pump for peak demand,

lowers energy usage, and helps prevent unexpected mid-winter breakdowns.

When you first turn on your heat in the Fall. There is a burning smell. Is that normal? Simple answer…YES.

Filter Replacement: Swap out or clean air filters every month to maintain strong airflow.

Winter Weather Tips

Bundle up! If you must go outside, dress in layers.

Several layers of clothes will keep you warmer than a single heavy coat.

Cover exposed skin to reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia.

Gloves, a scarf, and a hat will keep you from losing ‘body heat’.

Reducing the fire risk in your home

Safety Tip: With bitter cold temperatures, many of us are using small space heaters. If so, DO NOT plug them into a power strip. Multi-plug power strips are not designed to handle the energy load of a space heater and can overheat – causing a fire hazard. Keep portable heaters at least 3 feet away from furniture and drapes.

AAA: Winter Weather Prep (Auto)

Make certain your tires are properly inflated and have sufficient tread.

Cold weather reduces air pressure quicker.
