How to Enjoy Reliable Heating

A Pennsylvania winter can be as beautiful as a holiday card—but that doesn’t mean it will be as cozy. You can’t avoid the cold if you need to go outside, but you can keep the cold out of your home if you’ve got a good heating system working for you. Here are some tips from the Springfield, PA heating experts at Wm. Henderson Plumbing & Heating Inc. to help you get the most reliable performance possible.

One of the first steps you should take is to see that your home is prepped for winter. That way, you’ll get the more from your system with less heat loss. Look for leaks around outside doors and windows and get them sealed. Check on the insulation in your attic to see that it fills the spaces between the ceiling joists. Improper attic insulation will let heat rise right out of your home and make it harder to keep warm. If you have a chimney, keep its damper closed when not in use so hot air doesn’t have another escape path from your home.

After preparing your home, take some time to inspect your heating system and take care of any small maintenance issues it may require. If you have a furnace, change its filter. Check for any leaks in the boiler. Clear away obstructions from vents.

Although there is plenty you can do on your own to get reliable heating, it’s always a wise idea to call in a professional to perform a seasonal check-up. It’s easy to take your heater for granted, especially if it’s hidden in your basement or attic. But all the hard work it does for you will cause it to wear down unless it receives a regular inspection and tune-ups. Scheduling regular preventive maintenance is the most important step in keeping your heating system up and running throughout the cold months. A technician will come to your home to inspect motors, valves, fans, ducts, and other vital parts of your heater to see that it is working efficiently and not developing any potentially destructive defects.
