Is Your Heating Unit Ready For The Cold Season?

Cold weather is coming soon.  It’s important not to wait until you absolutely need the heat to test it for the season.

First things first:

~Give it a test run-Now is the time to turn your unit on and give it a test. Test it early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are cooler.

~Keep your registers open- Never close vents that you are not using. Closing vents does not allow your system to offload air flow.  Your HVAC unit needs proper airflow to work efficiently and not create undue hardship on your its operation.

~Check your filters-Always make sure you have a clean pleated Merv rated filter(s) installed. It’s always important know matter what time of the season, to change your filter(s) on a regular basis. Performance Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc does not recommend the washable type filters.  They restrict airflow and cause your HVAC unit to work harder.

~Schedule a checkup-Call Performance Heating And Air to perform a fall preventive maintenance on your heating system.
