Heating System Tips for The Winter


Your HVAC system will work hard for you during the holidays. It is cold outside, and you will have guests to entertain. However, you will need to take care of your HVAC system so it is in good working order and there for you when you need it most. Here are some tips for HVAC care this winter.

Check Your HVAC System

Periodically, you should have your HVAC system inspected to make sure that there are no problems with the system. By doing routine maintenance when it is necessary, you will prevent smaller problems from becoming bigger ones. An HVAC professional can perform a routine inspection to test your system and ensure that it is in working order. It is best to do this before things get cold outside because the last thing that you want is to be stuck during the holidays with a freezing home.

Change Your Air Filter

Air quality in your house is an important aspect during the winter. When it is cold and flu season, you want germ-free air circulating throughout your residence. An old and clogged air filter will mean that there is dirty and stale air in your home, which can make you sick. Before the holiday season, you should change your air filter to allow for cleaner air. This will also increase the efficiency of your HVAC system and lessen the chance that you will get sick.

Use a Humidifier

When you have a humidifier in your home, you actually have to use less heat in the winter. Moist air will condition your body to believe that it is warmer in the house. Dry air will draw heat from your body, so humidity will help to augment the work of your HVAC system and may mean that you have to work your unit less. The optimal humidity level in your house should be between 30% and 50%
