Ah, a beautiful Louisiana autumn. It’s such a gorgeous time of year. Finally, the heat has let up, and we can enjoy ourselves outdoors in golden light and crisp breezes! But don’t forget, autumn doesn’t last long, and pretty soon, you’ll be waking up very chilly one morning and hoping your heating system will still work. And what if it doesn’t?
If you’ve got an old heating system, and it needs to be repaired, and cold weather is coming fast, you’ve got a big decision to make. Should you repair that old heating system? Or would that be a waste of money? Should you just move on, and replace it with a new system? Here’s how to choose.
When you turn your heat on for the first time when the temperature gets chilly this fall, you want to have confidence that it will work well and not cause you any concern. But what if you smell something strange? Does it mean your heating system needs repair. Maybe, but maybe not. Here’s how to tell.
It’s autumn already! While you might just be enjoying the fact that it’s not quite so hot outside, don’t forget that there are things on your to-do list that must be done before winter hits. One of those things—indeed, the top thing on that list—should be having routine maintenance done on your heating system.
We talk a lot about the importance of maintenance. It helps your heating system run more efficiently. It makes sure the heat will be evenly distributed, so you’ll be more comfortable and cozy. It decreases the likelihood that you’ll need repairs this winter, and even extends the lifetime of your heater! But if for no other reason, get heating maintenance done as a safety precaution. Here’s how it will prevent hazardous problems.
It’s the coldest time of the year in Louisiana, very different from our usual luxurious warmth. And of course, if your furnace is going to have problems or break down, now—when it’s working the hardest—is the time when that will happen. What should you do about your struggling or failing furnace? Should you have it repaired? Do you need to replace it? What if that’s too expensive?
Happy New Year! A fresh start, a clean slate, some good resolutions in mind, and you’re all ready for 2024, right? But wait. How’s your furnace doing? How can it have a fresh start and a clean slate? The best thing you can do for your furnace is to change the air filter. Why? How? When? We’ll tell you everything you need to know.
Did you forget to make an appointment to have your heating system maintained in the fall? Don’t worry, it happens. The real question is what you should do now. Should you wait until next year to get heating maintenance? Or should you have it done mid-season? You should get it done right away. Here’s why.
Many handy homeowners pride themselves on being able to fix anything in their homes. Of course, being independent and skillful is wonderful!
