At Pro Temp of Illinois, we take pride in our ability to handle the heating needs of our customers in La Grange and the greater Chicagoland area. When fall arrives, you know that it is almost time for your furnace to start heating things for the colder months ahead. This season is the perfect time to make certain your heating system will be running at its best.
Clear the Vents
When your system is not running all the time, you don’t worry about what is going on around your vents. This is especially true in children’s rooms, where a child might place toys, books, clothes and other items on top of the vent. An older child might cover the vent with furniture when trying to reconfigure his or her space. A blocked vent will mean inefficient heating, increasing your overall utility costs.
Clean the Ducts
If the system has been idle for a few months, there has been time for the dust to settle in your ductwork. Without professional cleaning, this dust and the dust mites that live in it will get pushed into your air supply. It is not unusual for you to have allergy symptoms when the heating system first kicks on. The technicians at Pro Temp of Illinois can make certain everything is clean and ready.
Get a Tune-up
After several months of inactivity, it is a good idea to have professional technicians take a look at your furnace before the heating season. They can make small adjustments that have a big impact on efficiency, like replacing your furnace filter. By checking out your system before the season, they can also spot any problems that might be on the horizon. It is better to deal with them during a scheduled visit than make an emergency call in the middle of the night.
Whatever your heating or cooling issue, Pro Temp of Illinois is ready to help. Our highly trained technicians will take care of your home comfort. If you think it might be time for a furnace tune-up, give us a call today.
