Seasonal Tips (Spring 2003)
Now that spring is upon us, it's time to inspect your home comfort systems to ensure efficient and safe use throughout the winter.Here are some basics in preparing your heating and cooling system for the upcoming season.
User Maintenance:
Change the filter on your furnace.
These get clogged over time, trapping airborne particles which include pollen, dander, and dust. By replacing the filter we increase the airflow and therefore the efficiency of the furnace. Expect to pay between $10 & $50 for a standard filter.
If you are using an Electronic Air cleaner, or require assistance replacing your standard filter, please call a service tech. This type of service is available as part of our Maintenance packages.

Check/Clean Furnace Area
Be sure any combustible materials stored around the furnace during summer is removed.
Check Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Check to ensure your Carbon Monoxide Detectors are functioning properly. If unsure these can be tested by our service technicians. It should be noted that the average Carbon Monoxide Detector has a life span of two to three years.
