Before winter arrives, give your ducted system some attention. Small maintenance checks can make a difference in how effectively your system distributes warm air throughout your home.
Here’s what to check.
* Inspect accessible duct connections for loose joints or visible gaps.
* Check the filter for dust buildup and clean or replace it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
* Keep supply vents open and clear of furniture, curtains, and other obstructions.
* Pay attention to unusual odors. A brief dusty smell can occur when heating starts after a period of inactivity, but a strong or persistent burning smell should be checked by a qualified HVAC professional.
A little preparation now can help you head into the colder months with greater confidence. If you’re unsure about your system’s condition, schedule a professional inspection.
