3 Ways to Make Sure Your Furnace is Ready for Fall

October 17, 2016

There are undoubtedly some things you do to get yourself ready for fall in Moline, like get your sweaters out of storage and plan your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are a few things you may forget about while doing your fall prep – like your furnace. We’re about to say goodbye to air conditioner weather and we’re headed into furnace season. Along with your regular furnace service from J.L. Brady Company LLC, we have a couple tips that might help keep you comfortable and get your furnace ready for its busy season.

  1. Check and Change Your Air Filter
    This is simple advice for every season in Moline. Before you make that switch from “cool” to “heat,” go swap out your filter from dusty to clean. A filthy filter means your furnace has to try harder to keep you warm which can negatively impact your comfort and result in higher bills.
  2. Unblock Heating Vents and Registers
    As you’ve relocated furniture or brought more into the house, ensure you haven’t blocked any of your heating vents. A blocked vent could drive up your utility costs.
  3. Schedule Annual Furnace Service
    Fall is the perfect time in Moline to get your furnace checked out by one of our expert technicians. We will do a comprehensive inspection of your unit and be sure it will be in good working order for the upcoming winter months in Moline. Regular furnace service can help you get the most out of your furnace’s performance, and could also play a role in the life of your system. Not to mention that a pretty high percentage of the emergency calls in the winter are a result of a lack of maintenance.

We want you to enjoy every portion of the season in comfort. If you have any questions for us about getting your home ready for fall or need to arrange your annual furnace service give the experts at J.L. Brady Company LLC a call at 309-517-7511.
