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 Bishop, like hang up your sweaters and plot your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are a couple things you may forget about while preparing for fall – like your furnace. We’re about to say goodbye to air conditioner weather and we’re headed into furnace season. Along with your annual furnace service from Bishop Heating & Air Conditioning, we have three tips that may help keep you comfortable and get your furnace ready for its busy season.

  1. Check and Replace Your Air Filter
    This is simple advice for every season in Bishop. Before you make that switch from “cool” to “heat,” go swap out your filter from dirty to clean. A dusty filter means your furnace has to try harder to keep you warm which might negatively influence your comfort and mean higher bills.
  2. Unblock Heating Vents and Registers
    As you’ve rearranged furniture or brought more into the house, be sure you haven’t blocked any of your heating vents. A blocked vent has the chance to raise your utility bills.
  3. Schedule Annual Furnace Service
    Fall is the best time in Bishop to get your furnace looked at by one of our highly-trained technicians. We will do a thorough inspection of your unit and be sure it will be in good working order for the coming winter months in Bishop. Routine furnace service can help you get the most out of your furnace’s performance, and can 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 due to 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 set up your regular furnace service give the experts at Bishop Heating & Air Conditioning a call at 760-784-9034.
