You can perform preventative maintenance to keep this system running year round.

3 Steps To Ensuring A Hassle Free Winter

28 September 2017
 Categories: , Blog

Now that winter is just around the corner, you're probably looking forward to spending warm, cozy days and nights indoors with your family and friends. However, few things can ruin your enjoyment of your home faster than certain types of household malfunctions. Following are three strategies designed to help ensure that you have a hassle free winter this year. 

Have Your Roof Inspected

Imagine sitting around the dinner table enjoying a delicious meal and the company of your favorite people when your roof starts leaking right over the table, or being in the middle of a peaceful slumber when you suddenly feel drops of water falling on your face. Having your roof inspected prior to the onset of winter can help spare you these experiences as well as possibly save you a significant sum of money. You'll reduce the risk of household belongings getting ruined by water damage, and it's generally less expensive to have potential leaks repaired rather than waiting until they become fully fledged. 

Have Your Chimney Swept

Imagine being in the midst of a romantic evening by the fire with your partner or enjoying a night with the family gathering around the fireplace and making S'mores when the room suddenly fills up with smoke, or worse yet, your chimney catches on fire because it hasn't been swept so long it's got a substantial buildup of highly flammable creosote on its interior walls. 

Have Your Furnace Serviced 

Settling in for a night of reading, visiting with friends and family, or watching Netflix can quickly go sour if your heat goes out. Having your furnace professionally serviced before the cold season starts in earnest provides protection against this unpleasant scenario. Your furnace should be thoroughly checked out for any signs of wear and tear on the various parts, and the filter should be cleaned or changed depending on the type of filter that it uses. Some parts may need to be cleaned in order for them to function at optimal levels. Keep in mind that because your furnace has had the summer off, it may be more likely to malfunction during the first serious cold spell of the season due to being out of practice. 

Your local furnace repair service will be able to provide you with more information on making certain that you and your family won't experience any unpleasant surprises this winter due to a malfunctioning furnace. Visit a site like http://www.coeheatcool.com for more help.
