3 Ways to Make Sure Your Furnace is Ready for Fall

October 17, 2016

There are likely some things you do to get yourself prepared for fall in Mankato area, like hang up your sweaters and plot your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are a few things you might forget about while preparing for fall – like your furnace. We’re about to say goodbye to air conditioner weather and we’re leaping into furnace season. Along with your annual furnace service from Northern Comfort Inc, we have a couple tips that can help keep you comfortable and get your furnace prepared for its busy season.

  1. Check and Swap Out Your Air Filter
    This is simple advice for every season in Mankato area. Before you make that switch from “cool” to “heat,” go switch out your filter from filthy to clean. A dusty filter means your furnace has to run harder to keep you warm which can negatively affect your comfort and mean 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 might increase your utility costs.
  3. Schedule Annual Furnace Service
    Fall is the perfect time in Mankato area to get your furnace looked at by one of our professional technicians. We will do an in-depth inspection of your unit and make sure it will be in good working order for the coming winter months in Mankato area. 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 large percentage of the emergency calls in the winter are due to lack of maintenance.

We want you to enjoy every aspect 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 pros at Northern Comfort Inc a call at 507-387-6596.
