As the temperatures begin to drop, it’s crucial to test your heating system to ensure it operates efficiently and effectively when you need it most. Before the cold truly sets in, take the time to turn on your heating system and set it to a comfortable temperature.

Check for any unusual noises, listen for potential issues with the blower or thermostat, and verify that the heat is distributed evenly throughout your space. If you encounter any problems or suspect a malfunction, it’s best to call a professional for maintenance or repairs before the winter chill arrives, ensuring your home stays warm and cozy throughout the season.

If you are a residential landlord, it is worth asking your tenant to test the heating system now. This will save you potential time and money in emergency contractor costs!
