Keeping Your Home Cozy When Temperatures Drop
As winter approaches, ensuring your heating system is running efficiently becomes a top priority for homeowners. At Joplin’s Air Conditioning & Heating, we understand that a reliable heating system is not just about comfort—it’s about safety and energy efficiency too.
Why Preventative Maintenance Matters
Many homeowners wait until their heating system fails before calling for service. However, preventative maintenance can save you from unexpected breakdowns during the coldest days of the year. Our professional technicians recommend scheduling a heating system inspection before winter arrives to:
- Identify potential issues before they become costly repairs
- Ensure your system operates at peak efficiency
- Extend the lifespan of your heating equipment
- Maintain manufacturer warranties
- Improve indoor air quality
Simple Steps Homeowners Can Take
While professional maintenance is crucial, there are several steps homeowners can take between service appointments:
Replace Air Filters Regularly
Clean filters allow proper airflow, reducing strain on your system and improving efficiency. Most filters should be changed every 1-3 months, depending on usage and household conditions.
Check Your Thermostat Settings
Programming your thermostat to lower temperatures while you’re away can reduce energy consumption by 10-15%. Smart thermostats can make this process even more efficient by learning your schedule.
Keep Vents and Returns Clear
Ensure furniture, curtains, and other items aren’t blocking airflow from vents or returns. Proper airflow is essential for system performance.
