Get Your Home Ready for Winter: Heater Preparation Tips from Main Street Property Management
As the temperatures drop in Pensacola, it’s time to ensure your home stays cozy and warm all winter long. At Main Street Property Management, we care about your comfort and want to share some essential tips to prepare your heater for the cooler months ahead. Taking a few proactive steps now can save you money, extend the life of your HVAC system, and keep your home feeling like a toasty retreat from the cold.
1. Replace or Clean Your Air Filters
Dirty air filters make your heater work harder, driving up energy costs and reducing indoor air quality. Check your filters monthly and replace them at least every 90 days—or sooner if they’re clogged with dust or pet hair.
2. Clean Around Your Heater
Make sure there’s no clutter or debris near your heating unit or vents. This not only prevents fire hazards but also ensures proper airflow, so your system doesn’t have to work overtime to heat your home.
3. Check Your Thermostat
Now is the perfect time to test your thermostat. Make sure it’s set to “heat” and functioning correctly. For added convenience and energy savings, consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat to control your home’s temperature efficiently.
