Come
spring season, you won’t be using your home system for heating in
North Vancouver anymore so it’s important to prepare it for
hibernation. In addition to spring cleaning your entire home, also
check your home Heating
Services
in North Vancouver
and clean it well.
Here are some steps that can effectively keep your heating system in great condition until you need it again in the winter season:
-
Replace old and dirty filters.
Always
have your dirty air filters cleaned or replaced. Molds and many other
pathogens can easily live in your filters, especially when the
heating system isn’t used.
-
Keep your ductwork sealed.
If
you won’t be using your ductwork for air conditioning, have it
sealed. This prevents dirt and dust from entering the ductwork, which
can cause blockage and can prevent the heater from distributing hot
air properly throughout the entire house when it will be used next.
Molds and mildew can also build up overtime, especially when water
seeps in the duct during rainy days.
-
Give your heater one last run and check for any uneven heating function or noise.
It’s
a good idea to schedule maintenance appointment. Call professionals
such as Pro
Gas North Shore
to have your entire heating system inspected prior to letting it rest
for the summer season. If you schedule for maintenance, you can enjoy
a fully-functional heater the next winter. You won’t have to
schedule for maintenance as well during winter, which can be
difficult when other people also have the same idea.
These
three important steps can save your heater from deteriorating during
hibernation.
