3 Ways to Make Sure Your Furnace is Ready for Fall

October 17, 2016

There are undoubtedly some things you do to get yourself prepped for fall in Rockford, like get your sweaters out of storage and plan your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are some things you may forget about while preparing for fall – like your furnace. We’re about to say see you later to air conditioner weather and we’re leaping into furnace season. Along with your regular furnace service from Temperature Doctors Heating & Cooling, Inc, we have three tips that may help keep you comfy and get your furnace prepared for its busy season.

  1. Check and Replace Your Air Filter
    This is simple advice for every season in Rockford. Before you make that switch from “cool” to “heat,” go swap out your filter from filthy to clean. A dusty filter means your furnace has to work harder to keep you warm which might negatively impact your comfort and lead to higher bills.
  2. Unblock Heating Vents and Registers
    As you’ve rearranged furniture or brought more into the house, ensure you haven’t blocked any of your heating vents. A blocked vent might raise your utility bills.
  3. Schedule Annual Furnace Service
    Fall is the best time in Rockford to get your furnace inspected by one of our expert technicians. We will do a thorough inspection of your unit and make sure it will be in good working order for the approaching winter months in Rockford. Annual furnace service can help you get the most out of your furnace’s performance, and may also impact the life of your system. Not to mention that a large percentage of the emergency calls in the winter are a result of a lack of maintenance.

We want you to enjoy every portion of the season in comfort. If you have any questions for us about getting your home ready for fall or need to schedule your routine furnace service give the experts at Temperature Doctors Heating & Cooling, Inc a call at (815)914-6197.
