How to Prepare Your Heater for Winter Months
- 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 you should feel warm air circulated through your home. In order to make sure that your unit is ready to go, let your heater run for a few minutes. If you are still unable to get your heat to work, you can contact our heating maintenance company.
- Dust your vents/registers – Before you use your heater, call our heater service company and we recommend you dust your vents or registers throughout your home. This will help to remove any extra build-up from your air. Be sure your vents are all open and that nothing is blocking airflow from them.
- 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 unit (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 that you do not cover up your heat pump.
- Remove surrounding objects – It is important that you 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 there are objects nearby, so make sure you and your family are protected.
- Make a heating maintenance appointment – To prevent large expenses down the road, it is important to meet with an expert HVAC technician every year for annual maintenance. At Wilbur’s Air Conditioning, Heating, & Plumbing, you can rely on our quality professions to do a great job with your Birmingham heating needs.
