Always test your heating system early even before the cold arrives. It’s the surest way to know that heat will be there when you do need it. Problems are most likely to appear after your system has been idle for months. You want to identify problems and get them fixed now. It never fails that when temperatures first drop, our phones start ringing off the hook. Test now and avoid the rush if your system will need repair.
Because it will heat up your home, it’s best to perform this simple test when temperatures are first in the early 70s. Simply set your thermostat to “heat” and turn up the temperature setting. Wait a while after hearing your system start. Then check to see that there’s warm air coming from every vent (or heat coming from your radiant system).
Give us a call if you experience any unusualy noises or odors, or if you have any doubts or questions about your system’s peformance.
