Even though the days are still warm, the nights are becoming cool and winter is just around the corner. By preparing your heating system now, you will reduce your energy bills and ensure a consistent supply of warm air throughout the cold weather season. Winters can be harsh in upstate New York, but Rochester Heating And Cooling LLC will help homeowners keep their HVAC system in tip-top shape.

Here are a few ways to prepare your HVAC system for winter:

• Clean Or Change Filters: Cooling and heating system filters should be cleaned or changed every three months. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to prevent damage. Consider adding a high-performance air purifier to eliminate any airborne contaminants.

• Inspect The Chimney: Check the chimney for obstructions like debris or bird nests. Look for soot buildup; this is a fire hazard that should be cleared immediately. If your chimney hasn’t been professionally inspected and cleaned in a long time, hire a professional for maintenance.

• Check The Vents: If air isn’t flowing efficiently through the vents, your heating system will work harder than it should, resulting in higher energy costs. Make sure air is blowing freely when the system is running; if it isn’t, call an HVAC expert.
