As we all know, winter weather is the natural predator of all HVAC systems. Many heating units have fallen prey to January\u2019s icy bite.The good news? Some preventative maintenance can go a long way. Acting now can save your household a lot of misery later. As you sip your pumpkin spice latte (seriously, you have to try it), consider these tips.Hoard Replacement FiltersOkay, maybe you don\u2019t need to hoard them, but squirrels certainly have the right idea. If you have a heat pump, furnace, or any other kind of forced-air system, you\u2019ll want to stock up on replacement filters now. Go to your nearest supply house (such as the one we have here at Cooper Mechanical) to make sure you get the right type. Before winter really sets in, install a clean filter, then change it according to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions. It\u2019ll do wonders for your energy efficiency and extend the longevity of your system.Schedule Preventative MaintenanceScheduling an inspection while the leaves are still falling can save your family a lot of heartache. Take the Coop\u2019s word for it: No one wants to lose their heat when a few feet of snow blocks their driveway.
