As the seasons change, it’s time to change the thermostat setting from cool to heat. There are a lot of different ways to heat your home. There are forced air furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, wood stoves and so on. One thing they all have in common is they require regular maintenance to operate safely and efficiently. It’s recommended to have a professional cleaning every year prior to heating season. Typically, a clean and check should cost you between 75.00 and 100.00. Find an HVAC contractor you trust and get this done. Dirty burners and cracked heat exchangers are conditions that will produce CO. It’s worth the money to insure your system is operating safely. Also, don’t forget to change the batteries in your smoke/CO detectors around this time and test them to make sure they are working properly. This is important any time of year but especially during heating season. Stay warm and safe out there. Thanks for stopping by. See you in 2 weeks for another installment of Postcards from the Field!
