Ring in the New Year with a few helpful home tips that will help you keep your home running smoothly and avoid potentially costly issues later:
1. Clean or replace furnace filter.
2. Check and clean mechanical ventilation system (HRV/ERV).
3. Clean snow from air intakes, exhausts and meters. (we had to do this other day at our house, our gas fireplace wouldn’t turn on… whoops!)
4. Clean range hood filter. (goes along with #2)
5. Remove excess snow from roof to prevent ice dams.
6. Inspect water heater (check the temperature valves).
7. Observe humidity levels and adjust the setting on the humidistat or air exchanger controller as needed to eliminate condensation or frost on windows.
