Cooler weather means turning off the air conditioner, opening the windows, and enjoying the cool breeze. At least until you get chilly enough to turn on the heat, of course.
But before it gets too cold, you should schedule a heating inspection to make sure when you turn up the thermostat dial, your heating system is in top condition and ready to respond.
What Is a Heating Inspection?
If you’re new to the world of home maintenance, you may be wondering what a heating inspection even is, and what it includes.
Similar to a home inspection, which you get anytime you move to or from a house to check the entire property for problems, a heating inspection checks over your heating system to ensure it is in proper working condition. Getting a heating inspection before cold weather arrives is a good idea, since no one wants to be piling on sweaters and frantically calling HVAC technicians later in the year. Be prepared and schedule a heating inspection well before you actually want to turn the heat on so you won’t have to worry about an awkward, chilly wait.
