Now that Thanksgiving is over we can jet straight into Christmas, am I right? Who am I kidding, I’ve been celebrating since Halloween ended. With the holiday season approaching, cooler weather is approaching as well. So many places are already getting snow and arctic temperatures so it’s in our best interest to stay prepared and on top of impending potential problems. Which is why hvac maintenance is so important. Our homes need our attention and trust me it’s better to be prepared for possible issues than to wait until it’s too late. The damage is done by then and it’ll be a headache to fix and a pain in your wallet.
How To Stay Prepared: HVAC Maintenance
HVAC- One the best things you can do for your home during the colder months is to invest in your HVAC. Heating and air systems don’t have a set life span, a lot of times it all falls back on YOU and how you are maintaining your systems. It is imperative to change out your filters throughout your home and I highly suggest finding a reputable HVAC contractor to maintenance your system each year. I use Hoffmann Brothers here in Nashville and they take so much pride in keeping your home running like a champ with their Home Protection Plan. They currently have a Fall Special for $99 for a Fall Heating System Tuneup to ensure your HVAC is running smoothly so you don’t wake up to an ice cold house and no heat on a cold winter morning.
Carbon Monoxide Check- Winter is also the prime time for home fires. So much is plugged in around the house, we are starting fires, using our furnaces etc. Carbon Monoxide is a huge hazard so it is also beneficial to have a carbon monoxide check and check all smoke detectors to ensure they are working properly. I love that Hoffmann Brothers provides my family peace of mind since most heat systems are gas systems. My family’s safety is the most important thing in the world for me and they provide with a strong sense of security.
Plumbing – Plumbing is also a huge thing to keep an eye on during the cold months. As our temperatures drop ( and here in Nashville continue to go up and down all winter), your plumbing system is taking huge risks if the conditions are right. It’s important to get ahead of it. I’d highly suggest having a plumbing service take a look and make sure all your pipes and water hook-ups are safe for the winter months. Hoffmann Brothers has trained professionals on hand for plumbing issues. In addition if you sign up for their home protection plan you get a 15% discount on all plumbing services.
Those are just a few tips to get you started and in my opinion a few of the most important ones. Stay warm friends and make sure to maintenance your home this fall before it’s too late. Enough has happened this year, let’s not let something ruin our holiday season when we could avoid it by simply taking care of our home. Our homes are one of our biggest monetary investments in life and we simply can’t afford to neglect it 🙂 Happy Holidays friends! Have you done any HVAC maintenance recnetly?
