Fall Heating System Checklist

1. Have Your Heating Systems Inspected

Schedule an inspection, with a reputable plumbing and heating company. Most heating systems consist of a furnace or boiler, water heater, garage heater, and thermostats, all of which need to be checked regularly. Your HVAC system may be in perfect condition, or need to have some basic maintenance, like a cleaning. Yearly inspections, performed by a professional, help you make sure your system is in top condition, and ready to handle the long, cold Alaska winter.

2. Install a Digital Thermostat

Heating systems in Anchorage, AKA traditional thermostat gives you little control over your HVAC system. By installing a programmable, digital thermostat, you can save money on your utility bills and improve your home's energy efficiency. You can program your heating system to reduce power overnight, while you're at work, or during other extended periods when you don't need the house to be fully heated. This lowers your heating bills, minimizes energy waste, and reduces your carbon footprint.

3. Replace the Filter

Finally, you should replace your furnace’s filter before winter sets in. A dirty filter blocks airflow and makes your HVAC system work harder than it should. This raises your electric bill, overheats your furnace's blower motor, and wears out parts prematurely. Before you'll need to run your heating system every day, install a clean filter to improve operating efficiency and provide cleaner indoor air quality.
