3 Ways to Make Sure Your Furnace is Ready for Fall

October 17, 2016

There are probably some things you do to get yourself ready for fall in Auburn, like swap out your closet and plan your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are a few things you may forget about while doing your fall prep – like your furnace. We’re about to say sayonara to air conditioner weather and we’re headed into furnace season. Along with your routine furnace service from Forster Heating, 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 Auburn. Before you make that switch from “cool” to “heat,” go switch out your filter from dusty to clean. A filthy filter means your furnace has to work harder to keep you warm which can negatively impact your comfort and result in higher bills.
  2. Unblock Heating Vents and Registers
    As you’ve relocated furniture or brought more into the house, make sure you haven’t blocked any of your heating vents. A blocked vent could increase your utility expenses.
  3. Schedule Annual Furnace Service
    Fall is the best time in Auburn to get your furnace inspected by one of our highly-trained technicians. We will do a thorough inspection of your unit and be sure it will be in good working order for the upcoming winter months in Auburn. Regular furnace service can help you get the most out of your furnace’s performance, and could also impact the life of your system. Not to mention that a pretty high percentage of the emergency calls in the winter are attributed to 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 arrange your annual furnace service give the professionals at Forster Heating a call at 530-885-8081.
