Baby, It's Cold Outside:
Turn on the Heat
Winter weather is here, and hopefully you're all bundled up against the cold, but if not, then here are a few tips to help keep
you warm and comfy.
Eat, drink, and be warm.
Cooking in saves you money, and the heat from your stove can help warm your house.
Warm food and drinks are a great way to heat up.
If you have a self-cleaning stove, now is a great time to start it up - you'll get a clean stove and a little extra heat.
Alternative heat sources:
The cold weather is the perfect excuse to cuddle with family members and pets.
Keep soft, cozy blankets around to snuggle in.
If you have a fireplace, perhaps now is a good time to light a fire - just make sure the chimney or flue is clean.
Heater service is another great way to keep warm.
A technician can get your system running great so that it can really pump out the heat.
He can also fix problems, helping to keep your system from breaking down when you need it most.
This can also help bring your energy bill down in price.
If you and your family are waiting for heater repairs:
Pass out hot cocoa and blankets to everyone,
Break out a board game or play charades to help the time pass, and
Have spontaneous dance parties to help keep everyone warm.
Some things to remember about a furnace repair in Austin:
Furnaces are designed to hold onto and radiate heat, so turn your system off while you're waiting for the repairman so he doesn't get burned.
Don't attempt major repairs on your own - it could lead to more damage.
Don't delay calling a technician if you suspect there's a problem, or it could get worse.
Some minor problems that could be affecting your system include: The pilot light got extinguished,The thermostat is stuck between
settings or needs new batteries, orThe breaker was tripped or the fuse
was blown.
Sometimes a heater replacement is the only or best solution. You
may need a new system if: It is very old and nearing the end of its
lifespan,It is breaking down all the time, orThe cost of running your system is
rising for no apparent reason.
It is important to find the right technician to deal with your
heating and cooling in Austin. A good technician will:
Have the proper training and certification,
Give you figures and timeframes to help you determine if you can fix your system or if you need a new one,
Be available whenever you need him.
Prevention is the best medicine, so make sure you
are ready. Get your system looked over before the
cold hits, and at least once a year.Buy major appliance insurance if you
want help with repair costs.Change your filters out once a month.
Thanks for watching and remember to
keep warm!
