Winter HVAC Tips from Empire State Plumbing: Keep Your Home Warm and Efficient

With the cold temperatures here, your HVAC system is essential to maintaining a cozy home. Here are some quick tips from Empire State Plumbing to ensure your heating system runs smoothly and efficiently:

1. Schedule a Tune-Up

Have a professional inspect and maintain your HVAC system. A tune-up can catch potential issues early and improve efficiency.

2. Change Your Air Filter

Replace your air filter regularly to ensure proper airflow and prevent your system from working harder than necessary.

3. Seal Leaks

Check windows and doors for drafts, and seal any gaps with weatherstripping or caulk to keep warm air inside and energy bills down.

4. Invest in a Programmable Thermostat

Save energy by setting your thermostat to automatically lower when you're away or sleeping, and warm up your home before you return.

5. Clear Vents

Ensure your vents and registers are unobstructed for optimal airflow and heating efficiency.

6. Check Carbon Monoxide Detectors

If you're using a furnace, test your carbon monoxide detectors to ensure safety throughout the winter.
