Winter in Middletown can bring chilly temperatures that require a reliable and efficient heating system to keep your home cozy. Preparing your HVAC system before the cold weather arrives helps prevent breakdowns and ensures your equipment runs safely and efficiently.
At Aire Serv of Middletown, we recommend these important steps to get your heating system winter-ready.
1. Schedule a Professional Heating System Inspection
A thorough inspection identifies worn or damaged components that could cause failure during winter. Our technicians will clean, test, and tune your furnace or heat pump to optimize performance and safety.
2. Replace Air Filters Regularly
Dirty filters reduce airflow, strain your system, and decrease indoor air quality. Replace filters every 30 to 60 days to maintain proper function.
3. Check and Seal Air Leaks
Seal gaps around doors, windows, and ductwork to prevent heat loss and improve energy efficiency.
4. Test Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Furnaces that burn fuel produce carbon monoxide, which can be deadly if leaked. Make sure detectors are functioning and batteries are fresh.
5. Clear Vents and Registers
Keep supply and return vents clear of furniture and debris to allow proper airflow.
Taking these precautions will help keep your home warm and safe this winter. For professional HVAC service and maintenance, call Aire Serv of Middletown today.
