HVAC Tips for Winter Weather
Keep your heating system running efficiently this winter with these practical steps:
Schedule a professional tune-up early in the season. A technician can catch small issues before they become major breakdowns during the coldest days.
Change or clean air filters regularly. Dirty filters make your system work harder, use more energy, and reduce airflow. Check them monthly and replace every 1–3 months during heavy heating use.
Clear snow, ice, and debris from outdoor heat pump units. Maintain at least 2–3 feet of clearance around the unit, but never cover it completely—modern heat pumps are built to operate in cold weather.
Quick additional habits that help:
Seal drafts around windows and doors
Keep supply vents and return registers unblocked
Set your thermostat to 68–72°F when home (lower when away)
Consider a programmable or smart thermostat for better control and savings
These simple actions improve comfort, protect indoor air quality, lower energy costs, and help your system last longer. Stay warm!
