Getting on my winter HVAC savings prep now

This place is full of interesting facts and plenty of support for maintaining the HVAC equipment.

I mean, it’s no dang secret. The winter comes each year and with it comes plenty of cold, snow and ice. That’s the way it’s been year after year since I’ve been on the planet. And with all that cold, snow and ice comes the need for a good bit of HVAC heating. Thankfully, I have a great gas furnace that is only about 6 years old. But six years ago when that piece of HVAC equipment was being installed, I swore I was going to start prepping the house for winter. Five more winters went by where the gas furnace had to work too much and the house didn’t get prepped for winter. It’s like the kids went back to school in August and bang, the HVAC technician was out to do the heating maintenance and it was winter again. Of course, the fact that I sat on my butt watching whatever football I could didn’t help matters at all. So this year, I decided to start now. It’s the middle of August, we’re starting to think about back to school shopping so I didn’t want to be late to the HVAC party again this year. The first thing I did was to go to the HVAC company website. This place is full of interesting facts and plenty of support for maintaining the HVAC equipment. There is also a nice section on prepping a home for winter. So essentially, I simply went down the checklist one by one. I’m taking it one bit at a time but I’ll for sure be done come October. And I’m going to have a cozy house this winter and save on HVAC heating costs.
