I appreciate all the year’s seasons, but winter brings out the worst in me.
I have always disliked the cold, and if it were not for work, I would travel each winter to look for locations with sun and warmth.
After returning from my escapades, it started raining when I got home. I switched on my quality heating equipment, which opened up myriad symptoms indicating a problem. The first thing I noticed was a burning smell from the space heater, which the local contractor confirmed to be harmless. When the geo heat pump turns on for the first time in the fall, it will burn off the dust collected on the heat exchanger or electric elements since the last heating season. However, one thing I noticed about the central heating system was that the smell of dust lingered. Heater maintenance revealed I had dirty furnace filters, and the engineers had to change them for clean ones. However, the digital thermostat was in good condition. The professionals who know more about heating advised that if the burning smell continued, it would mean a clog that limited airflow, so that the new heating equipment would overheat. To help with indoor comfort, the technician from the local business recommended that next time, I schedule heating service and furnace/heater repairs when the weather is hot. It was risky to wait until winter started to assess the unit for quality heating. Applying energy-saving help tips is essential. It is vital also to check your detectors. Fortunately, I had my brother check on my carbon monoxide detector because he was scared of poisoning at home. Learning more about HVAC is vital so you can catch the signs early enough. I also tested and reached the batteries on my smoke alarm to ensure I had everything sorted before temperatures plummeted.
