 ...for achieving maximum Safety, Efficiency, & Comfort with your heating and air conditioning systems:
1. Always have your heating and air systems serviced by a properly certified technician. 2. Have an annual inspection and maintenance check-up. 3. Change your furnace filter once every 1-3 months...depending on type of filter. 4. Weather-proof around windows and doors with caulking or weather-stripping. 5. Update old equipment and thermostats when needed. 6. Have air ducts cleaned when needed. 7. Those with gas, oil, and wood stoves should have their chimineys checked & cleaned regularly. 8. Have smoke alarms installed in strategic areas of your home. Those with gas & propane furnaces should have a carbon-monoxide detector installed. 9. For those with gas or propane furnaces: A special additive is added to your gas and propane to alert you of leaks. If you smell the rank smell of this additive, CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. 10. For the most fuel efficiency, set HEAT between 68-70 degrees; and AIR CONDITIONING between 74-76 degrees. 11. Those with allergies and/or sinus problems should have a hepa-filtration system and/or humidifier installed by a certified technician.
