Prepare For the Winter Months in SoCal

Southern California is getting colder now and summer days are far behind us. We look forward to hot chocolate, apple pies, apple cider, Christmas trees, a picture with Santa, but not so much to the weather changes. Although Southern California has moderate winter weather, homes and businesses alike notice the outdoor climate temperatures and how the cold affects the comfort of the indoors. To keep warm and comfortable indoor temperatures, we recommend taking a few steps to prepare your heating and cooling system for the rest of the winter. It is essential to go through the proper HVAC maintenance steps to ensure warmth on those chilly nights.

Filters 

It is essential to have air conditioner and furnace filters changed regularly. If you have not done so already, you should do it soon, and it is always nice to plan ahead and replace them before the fall begins. A good habit of having in regards to filters is to change them at least once every couple of months. If you or your loved ones suffer from allergies, it is recommended to change the filters at least once a month. These essential HVAC maintenance tips are especially important during those colder months when you spend more time indoors. Changing your filters regularly will maintain your air ducts clean and your air free of airborne contaminants and allergens.

Time for Furnace Replacement

Sometimes the tune-up won’t solve the issues. While new, more energy-efficient furnaces are designed to last for 20 to 30 years, older ones just aren’t the same way. Here are the telltale indications that it’s time to consider replacing your furnace:

  • You’re paying for repair services far too often.
  • Your heating bill has skyrocketed even when you are not changing the temperature on the thermostats in your home.
  • You house makes a lot of noises, and they seem to be coming from the furnace.
  • You set the thermostat, but some rooms feel like a wood-fired smoker while other areas feel like a giant deep freeze.
  • There is a crack in the heat exchanger.

If you’re experiencing any of these, it’s time to say goodbye to your old furnace. Select Home Improvements offers convenient financing options that will make the replacement a breeze.
