3 Ways to Make Sure Your Furnace is Ready for Fall

October 17, 2016

There are probably some things you do to get yourself prepared for fall in Newton, like hang up your sweaters and think through your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are a couple things you might forget about while doing your fall prep – like your furnace. We’re about to say see you later to air conditioner weather and we’re headed into furnace season. Along with your regular furnace service from Brookwood Inc, we have three tips that might help keep you cozy and get your furnace ready for its busy season.

  1. Check and Swap Out Your Air Filter
    This is simple advice for every season in Newton. Before you make that switch from “cool” to “heat,” go swap out your filter from filthy to clean. A dusty filter means your furnace has to work harder to keep you warm which can negatively influence your comfort and result in higher bills.
  2. Unblock Heating Vents and Registers
    As you’ve moved furniture or brought more into the house, ensure you haven’t blocked any of your heating vents. A blocked vent has the chance to raise your utility costs.
  3. Schedule Annual Furnace Service
    Fall is the best time in Newton to get your furnace inspected by one of our expert technicians. We will do a thorough inspection of your unit and be sure it will be in good working order for the approaching winter months in Newton. Annual furnace service can help you get the most out of your furnace’s performance, and could also impact the life of your system. Not to mention that a big percentage of the emergency calls in the winter are due to lack of maintenance.

We want you to enjoy every aspect of the season in comfort. If you have any questions for us about getting your home ready for fall or need to arrange your routine furnace service give the professionals at Brookwood Inc a call at 641-316-9803.
