Getting your Furnace Ready for Winter.

We know, it’s already cold here in the Rockies, but it’s not getting any warmer anytime soon!  You shouldn’t wait another day to have your furnace checked and running in tip-top condition for the next several months.  Anyone who has lived for more than one winter in Colorado Springs knows that cold weather around here is harsher than warm.

Here are just some of the tips to getting your furnace ready:

1.  Change the air filters

2.  Cover the AC condenser

3.  Clean the heat exchanger

4.  Lubricate and clean the blower motor

5.  Have an HVAC pro do all of the above and more

That may be the best advice we can give.  Call the HVAC service professionals at Altitude Heating and Air for the best service, repair, and replacement expertise you can get on your home or office’s heating system.  Altitude heating and Air Services the heating and air conditioning needs of the greater Colorado Springs area.  Just call (719) 209-4955.

Drip, Drip, Drip.

That sound may be music to the ears of a Colorado Springs homeowner, IF that sound is coming from certain faucets that have a steady drip as temperatures plummet.  That is one of the first ways to prevent frozen pipes in your home this winter.  When temperatures drop, the risk of your pipes freezing and bursting like skyrockets is very real!

The pipes most at risk are those in unheated interior spaces such as basements, attics, and garages.  But even pipes running through cabinets or exterior walls can freeze.  One suggestion is pipe insulation which can cost as little as 50 cents per linear foot at your local hardware store.  A study has shown that at 20 degrees the “temperature alert threshold” will be reached.

Be very careful of using space heaters to warm a room.  You’ve heard about the potential dangers therein.  For frozen pipes or other plumbing emergencies in the greater Colorado Springs area you can always count on Altitude Heating and Air.  We will keep your home warm and safe this winter.  Just call (719) 209-4955.
