Heating System Maintenance

You need to make certain that your heating system is ready for winter. As temperatures plummet, many Chicago homeowners call up their HVAC company to schedule a heating system inspection (if you’re not one of these people, you should be!). But do you know about the things you can do in between professional Chicago heating system inspections to keep your furnace or heating system running 100%!

Types of Furnace & Heating Systems:

• Heat Pump
• Electric, Oil and Gas
• Boiler

Follow the heating system maintenance steps listed below to get the most out of your heating system this winter:

1. Install a programmable thermostat.
   • A programmable thermostat allows you to set temperature presets in your Chicago home – about 2-3 a day.
   • The thermostat takes it from there, automatically adjusting the temperature so you can strike the best balance between efficiency and comfort.
2. Make sure you change your filters monthly at a minimum.
   • Your programmable thermostat will actually remind you when it’s time to change the filters!
   • Cheap fiberglass filters like the kind you see at the hardware store should be all you need.
   • If you want even better results or you’re especially sensitive to dust or other airborne particles, you may want to consider a higher model.
