3 Ways to Make Sure Your Furnace is Ready for Fall

October 17, 2016

There are probably some things you do to get yourself prepped for fall in Florissant, like get your sweaters out of storage and plan your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are a few 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 diving into furnace season. Along with your routine furnace service from B & B Heating & Cooling, we have a few tips that can help keep you cozy and get your furnace prepped for its busy season.

  1. Check and Change Your Air Filter
    This is simple advice for every season in Florissant. Before you make that switch from “cool” to “heat,” go switch out your filter from filthy to clean. A filthy filter means your furnace has to run harder to keep you warm which might negatively influence your comfort and lead to 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 has the chance to drive up your utility bills.
  3. Schedule Annual Furnace Service
    Fall is the best time in Florissant to get your furnace looked at by one of our highly-trained technicians. We will do an in-depth inspection of your unit and ensure it will be in good working order for the coming winter months in Florissant. Regular furnace service can help you get the most out of your furnace’s performance, and may also affect the life of your system. Not to mention that a big percentage of the emergency calls in the winter are due to lack of maintenance.

We want you to enjoy every bit 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 professionals at B & B Heating & Cooling a call at 314-325-7552.
