Preparing for the Winter Chill

This is the time of year where appliance repair companies are starting to think about winter.  Late summer or fall is actually the best time to have your furnace inspected to ensure that it is working correctly.  Preventative maintenance is key and a majority of home owners will not have their furnace inspected before they need to turn it on one chilly day and discover that it is not working.

This usually means that every company that offers repairs on heating units; whether they are furnaces, fireplaces or portable heaters, will find themselves flooded with phone calls for help.  If you are not quick enough you might need to wait for a day, or more, before you can even have someone out to see your furnace let alone get it up and running again.

Just as you should have your air conditioner or heat pump inspected during the winter, remember to have your furnace inspected during the summer or the fall.  If your furnace is a central unit, filters tend to go on sale during the summer as well so you can save some money.
