October 17, 2016

There are probably some things you do to get yourself prepared for fall in Menomonie and western Wisconsin, like hang up your sweaters and think through your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are a couple things you could possibly forget about while getting ready for fall – like your furnace. We’re about to say sayonara to air conditioner weather and we’re headed into furnace season. Along with your routine furnace service from Halverson Brothers Inc, we have a few tips that may help keep you cozy and get your furnace ready for its busy season.

  1. Check and Replace Your Air Filter
    This is simple advice for every season in Menomonie and western Wisconsin. Before you make that switch from “cool” to “heat,” go change out your filter from filthy to clean. A filthy filter means your furnace has to try harder to keep you warm which may negatively affect your comfort and lead to higher bills.
  2. Unblock Heating Vents and Registers
    As you’ve relocated furniture or brought more into the house, ensure you haven’t blocked any of your heating vents. A blocked vent might increase your utility costs.
  3. Schedule Annual Furnace Service
    Fall is the best time in Menomonie and western Wisconsin to get your furnace looked at by one of our highly-trained technicians. We will do a comprehensive inspection of your unit and ensure it will be in good working order for the coming winter months in Menomonie and western Wisconsin. Regular furnace service can help you get the most out of your furnace’s performance, and can also impact the life of your system. Not to mention that a big percentage of the emergency calls in the winter are attributed to a lack of maintenance.

We want you to enjoy every aspect of the season in comfort. If you have any questions for us about getting your home ready for fall or need to schedule your annual furnace service give the professionals at Halverson Brothers Inc a call at 715-352-4052.
