SPRING, TX, November 10, 2012 (Press-News.org) As the weather cools down, Air National Houston advises residents to inspect their home heating devices and complete essential upkeep required to stay away from any health or safety dangers.
"Now is the time to complete maintenance on your home heating equipment to make sure they can be operated securely and successfully," states Barry Andrews, owner and president of Air National Houston. "Customers are starting to switch on their furnaces for the very first time in months. Heating devices must be serviced yearly to keep them functioning properly and proficiently. Our certified and knowledgeable technicians can perform this service for you." Without a yearly upkeep on gas heating devices, you could run into carbon monoxide exposure that can lead to nausea, cold like symptoms, drowsiness and even death.
Considering that home heating normally accounts for a lot more than 50% of the winter season monthly bills, the best way to save on money is to get gas home appliances serviced. Air National offers these suggestions for a secure heat and electricity efficient winter season:
1. Check your natural gas furnaces every year by a certified technician or Air National Houston.
2. Drafts can use up to 35% of your electricity. Use weather stripping, caulking and even consider rolling up a bath towel and placing it under a drafty door.
3. Make sure to replace or clean furnace filters once a month during the winter. Unclean filters restrict airflow and increase energy in the home.
4. Reduce your heating by as much as 10% by reversing the direction of your ceiling fan blades. Most fans come with this convenient reverse switch. Clockwise rotation makes it warmer by circulating the air near the ceiling back to the ground.
5. Keep your furnace clean, lubricated and properly maintained by Air National or a certified contractor. This can save you up to 5% on heating costs.
6. Insulate your pipes and in turn, pay much less for hot water. Freezing pipes can lead to devastating effects. Your pipes are ready for insulation if they feel warm.
