With the weather getting chillier by the day, and a very cold winter ahead of us, it’s more important than ever to know that your home heating system is prepped and ready to go. You don’t want to get caught in the snow or the cold with no heating system, after all!

If you haven’t checked to make sure everything is running smoothly yet, don’t worry. You still have plenty of time to make sure you’re in good shape for the cold months ahead. And the amazing team at Standard Heating and Air Conditioning are here to make certain you’re in good hands!

Standard Heating and Air Conditioning has a team made up 70 hard-working, highly trained technicians who all have your best interest at heart. One of those technicians, Nate Stoll (he/him), who works as a service technician at Standard Heating and Air, says, “I started as a Maintenance Specialist and grew into the role of a Service Technician. I transitioned into this career later in life because I wanted to work with my hands. I am also able to troubleshoot and come up with solutions for people, I love it.”

People like Stoll, who know exactly what they’re doing when it comes to heating and air, are the reason we can all breathe a sigh of relief instead of worrying about the colder months.

There are plenty of things you can do to get ready for the winter. Stoll says, “The best way to stay warm this winter is to be proactive.” He explains that there are lots of small things you can check each year to make sure you’re set for the cold. He says, “Some annual tips we recommend are schedule an annual tune-up for your furnace or boiler. This is the best way to keep your equipment operating at peak performance all winter long. Stay on top of filter changes, check your filters monthly.  Check your drain lines to ensure they are clear and properly draining to a working floor drain.  Find your PVC venting outside of your home and remove any snow or ice buildup.  Boiler systems deal with water and should be bled annually by a professional and filled to the correct working pressure. You can switch any ceiling fan’s rotation to push the rising heat down to save on energy costs. Finally, make sure all heat registers are open to increase heat circulation and decrease stress on your system.”

Basically, you need to check in on your heating system the same as you would anything else. Making sure everything is functioning and clean might seem tedious now, but we guarantee it’ll be less desirable when it’s freezing outside… and inside!

Standard Heating and Air Conditioning is in the business of comfort. And while keeping people warm and comfortable is a very nice thing, it’s also much more than that: warmth is a crucial part of our safety, too.

Stole knows that Standard Heating and Air Conditioning has a people-first mentality, and the community’s safety and comfort are forefront in their minds.
