The fall season is when you want to start making changes to your
home that will winterize your home. Don’t wait until the weather gets so cold
that you don’t want to do anything but stay up under the covers. Here are some
things you can do to prepare your home now.
Change the filter on your furnace. While you are at it,
schedule an appointment for a Nashville furnance inspection as well. In order for your home to
remain warm and cozy throughout the winter, your furnace needs to be in tiptop
shape.
Clean and cover your air conditioning system. Even though
this device won’t be getting much use during the winter, it still needs to be properly
cleaned and covered while it is not in use. Make sure all vents are closed and
all window units are removed from the windows and stored in a cool and dry
place for the season.
Get in the habit of setting your thermostat to 68 degrees.
This will keep your furnace from working too hard as the temperatures get
colder.
Test your furnace out by turning it up to 80 degrees for a
few moments and time how long it take for it to come on and how long it takes
your home to warm up. If it takes more than twenty minutes for the furnace
blower to start, it is time for you to contact your local Nashville handyman to come out and make
some repairs.
