Winter in Missouri likes to show up uninvited… and early. Keeping your home warm doesn’t have to be stressful, though — a little preparation goes a long way.

Quick & Easy HVAC Winterization Tips

• Change your filter (seriously!) Your furnace can’t breathe through a dirty filter. Changing it often keeps the heat flowing.
• Clean around the furnace A clean furnace area = better airflow + safer operation.
• Check your thermostat settings Make sure it switches automatically to heat and that your schedule reflects the cooler months.
• Keep vents open Closed vents do not save money. They stress your system.

Best Tip of All?

Schedule your fall furnace tune-up to catch little issues before they become big, expensive ones.
