As we gear up for fall here in New Hampshire, the cool temperatures have set in at night. Many homeowners open the windows to enjoy the fall-like temperature for sleeping. But we have already seen nights where temperatures are dropping into an area where you may be shivering as you shut the window.
In an effort to delay the inevitable heating bills that are coming, homeowners also tend to put off turning on their heating system, many hoping to hold out until the start of October. While this may seem reasonable, and like a good way to save money, it can end up backfiring in the end.
When the temperature plummets, calls we receive for heating system service in the Nashua and surrounding areas begin to rise. This increased demand means that it may take a little longer to get a technician to your home to evaluate the system. If a part has to be ordered, this can further delay the time to get your heating unit up and running.
This can all be avoided simply by turning on the heating system now, while the temperature is still crisp yet comfortable outside. If there is a problem with your heater, it can be addressed early enough in the season before the rush of panicked homeowners during those frigid months.
Testing your heating system now is as simple as turning it on during a cool fall day and ensuring that it is warming the home to the set temperature in a timely manner. This simple step can save a lot of headaches during the winter ahead.
