The decorations are packed away , the cookies have been consumed, and the New Year has officially begun. The holidays are a special time of the year, but once they’re gone, that’s when the real winter starts. As a trusted name in home comfort for over 105 years, we have seen just about everything, and along the way, we’ve collected tips and tricks to help make the winter months feel like a (warm) breeze!
1. Enroll in Automatic Delivery
Avoid the hassle of checking Bioheat® fuel levels and scheduling deliveries by enrolling in Automatic Delivery. We utilize a degree-day tracking system combined with your past fuel usage to calculate when you will need your next delivery. You don’t have to lift a finger!
2. Inspect and Change Furnace Filters
A dirty air filter can cause your heating system to work harder than necessary, reducing its efficiency. Changing old filters is an easy way to improve air quality and ensure your furnace runs efficiently. Contact us if you need assistance changing your furnace filter.
3. Seal Drafts Around Doors and Windows
Drafts can sneak in through small gaps, robbing your home of heat and making your equipment work overtime. Check for drafts around doors and windows, and seal them with weatherstripping or caulking to keep the warmth inside. You don’t want to heat the whole neighborhood!
4. Schedule a Service Call
Have you heard strange noises coming from your heating system or experienced uneven heat throughout your home? Those are signs that something is not right with your system. Schedule a service call so we can find and fix the problem.
5. Upgrade to a Programmable Thermostat
If you don’t already have one, consider installing a programmable thermostat. It allows you to set different temperatures for different times of the day, ensuring you're not heating an empty home when you’re away!
Following these steps can help you stay warm while keeping your energy costs down. If you have any questions or need help with your heating system, your comfort is always just a phone call away with Spring Brook Ice & Fuel!
