Keeping your heating and cooling systems in good working condition means you energy bills will be lower, your home will be more comfortable, and you’ll need to call for repairs less often.
Maintenance Scheduling:
Schedule a maintenance service call with Appleton Campbell before the heating or cooling seasons start. If there are any problems with your system, it’s better to find out before it’s freezing outside or a heat wave arrives!
Filters:
Check your filters every month that they are in use and replace when needed. Operating your system with old, dirty filters means energy is wasted and your system may even be damaged.
System Checks:
Don’t keep clutter near your furnace. It’s a fire hazard and may keep your system from operating efficiently. Also, keep the registers and vents throughout the house free of dust, dirt and pet hair by vacuuming them at least once per year. The lint and dust needs to be vacuumed from the baseboards fins as well.
Listen for odd sounds when starting your heating or cooling system. If you hear anything unusual, contact Appleton Campbell so you can head off problems before they become serious.
Check around your indoor unit for leaking water. Water leaks can cause extensive damage to your home, especially if your unit is on an upper floor or in an attic. If you see water leaking, contact Appleton Campbell for service immediatley.
If you have any fuel burning appliances, such as gas furnace, oil furnace, pellet stove etc…, you should have a carbon monoxide detector in your home.
Thermostats:
Protect your thermostat from drafts so your heating or cooling system turns on only when you need extra warmth or cool.
Replace your old thermostat with a new digital thermostat, which are extremely accurate. These new thermostats reduce the temperature swings of the older thermostats, which cause longer run times. Some may be set to automatically adjust temperature at bedtime as well as rising in the morning. If you have a heat pump, be careful to select a setback thermostat specifically designed to work with heat pump systems.
