If you look at the weather forecast and the weather outside your window, you'll see why this time of year is so popular with many around Puget Sound. You may not have turned on your oven yet, but the temperatures are cooling down quickly, so that time is definitely coming! Fortunately, we were also able to escape the poor air quality caused by smoke from the forest fires that ravaged the area around this time last September.
No matter what happens this fall and winter, stay safe and comfortable at home with these tips from Black Lion Heating & Air Conditioning.
Routine maintenance
Many people forget to review a seasonal checklist when moving from cooling to heating, but when it comes to home heating solutions, preventive maintenance is the be-all and end-all - roughly four months, from late spring to early spring. Cars require additional maintenance and priming if they have not been started or driven for a long time, and the same care is required for heating solutions in your home. This applies to new and old devices!
More than a filter change
Cleaning or replacing the filter is always recommended by Black Lion, especially for pet owners or those who are sensitive to dust and dander. It's the fastest way to improve air quality and efficiency. However, cleaning the filter alone doesn't necessarily solve the kind of problems that turn a stove off in the middle of winter.
Black Lion's service technicians have a 21-point checklist to check the entire heating system, including igniter, thermostat, fan motor, gas valves, flame sensors, condensate pumps and device housings. Like all appliances, heating solutions fail over time, but regular and thorough inspections will extend the life of your stove.
Add air conditioning
This summer's "heatdome" was historic, but there are signs of future heat waves in west Washington. Intense heat is increasingly a part of our "Seattle Summer" so the next time you replace a heater, consider a cooling device or heat pump that can heat and cool your home.
The Black Lion team has specialized in heating, air conditioning and ventilation for residential buildings in Puget Sound for more than 20 years. Your technicians can carry out annual maintenance, repairs or replacement installations on your heating or air conditioning system, so you can be sure that your equipment will be ready for use all winter. Black Lion Heating & Air Conditioning also offers an after-hours emergency repair service. If your heat is off this year, don't hesitate to give the pros at Black Lion a call.
