🍂 Fall Plumbing & HVAC Tips from Lars Plumbing and HVAC
As the weather cools down in the Rockford area, it’s the perfect time to prepare your home for the colder months ahead. Here are some fall tips to keep your plumbing and HVAC systems running smoothly:
🔧 Plumbing Tips
Disconnect Outdoor Hoses: Prevent frozen pipes by disconnecting garden hoses and shutting off outdoor water valves.
Insulate Exposed Pipes: Pipes in basements, garages, and crawl spaces are more prone to freezing—add insulation to avoid costly repairs.
Check For Leaks: Even small leaks can lead to big problems in the winter. Fix drips and running toilets early.
Flush Your Water Heater: Sediment can build up and reduce efficiency. Consider flushing your water heater to extend its life.
❄️ HVAC Tips
Schedule a Furnace Tune-Up: Annual maintenance helps your system run more efficiently and prevents breakdowns when you need heat most.
Replace Air Filters: A clean filter improves airflow and helps keep your indoor air clean during the months your home is closed up.
Test Your Thermostat: Make sure it’s working properly and consider upgrading to a programmable thermostat for better energy savings.
Clear Vents and Registers: Remove any blockages and make sure furniture isn’t covering your vents for even heating.
