Winter Heating Checklist
As the temperatures drop, ensuring your home is ready for the cold is vital to staying comfortable and saving on heating costs. At Liberty Bell Discount Fuel, we understand how important it is to have a warm and efficient home during the winter months. Follow our simple checklist to prepare your heating system and maximize comfort all season long.
1. Schedule a Furnace Tune-Up
Your heating system works hard during the winter, so start the season with a professional inspection and tune-up. This ensures it operates efficiently and identifies potential issues before they turn into costly repairs.
2. Check Your Fuel Supply
Make sure you have enough heating fuel to last through the season’s first cold snap. Liberty Bell Discount Fuel offers reliable and affordable fuel delivery to keep your home warm when you need it most. Consider signing up for automatic deliveries to avoid running out.
3. Replace or Clean Filters
Dirty air filters restrict airflow, making your heating system work harder and increasing energy costs. Replace or clean filters every one to three months for optimal performance.
4. Seal Drafts and Insulate
Check for drafts around windows, doors, and other openings. Seal them with weatherstripping or caulk, and add insulation in key areas like the attic to retain more heat.
5. Test Your Thermostat
A programmable thermostat can help you save on heating costs by automatically adjusting temperatures when you’re asleep or away. Test it now to ensure it’s working properly, and set it to energy-saving settings.
6. Inspect Your Chimney and Vents
If you use a fireplace, have your chimney cleaned and inspected to prevent blockages or creosote buildup. Additionally, ensure all vents are clear of obstructions to allow for proper airflow.
7. Prepare for Power Outages
Winter storms can lead to power outages, so it’s wise to have a backup plan. Stock up on blankets, a generator, and battery-operated heaters for emergencies.
