How To Prepare Your Heater for Winter
- Test your thermostat: Turn the thermostat to “heat” and wait about a minute, then turn on your heater and test it to make sure it works. You should hear the unit click on and feel warm air circulate through your home. To make sure your unit is ready, let your heater run for a few minutes. If you’re still unable to get your heat to work, contact us.
- Dust your vents/registers: Before you use your heater, it’s best to dust the vents or registers throughout your home. This will help remove any extra build-up from your air. Be sure your vents are all open and that nothing is blocking their airflow.
- Change your HVAC filter: You should change your HVAC filter every season. During fall, your HVAC filter collects dust, dirt, allergens, dander, and other particles; as the season ends, your HVAC filter becomes clogged and is unable to filter air effectively.
- Protect your condenser: By covering your AC (your outdoor unit) for the winter, you can prevent ice from accumulating inside and prevent damage due to hail, tree branches, debris, and more. However, make sure you don’t cover your heat pump.
- Remove surrounding objects: It’s important to remove objects that are near or on top of your heater before turning it on. This includes removing boxes, furniture, storage containers, and more. The risk of a fire is higher when objects are nearby.
- Schedule heating maintenance: To prevent large expenses down the road, it’s important to meet with an expert HVAC technician every year for annual maintenance. You can rely on our quality professionals to do a great job with your Birmingham heating needs.
