Warm for the Holidays

The holiday season is almost here, bringing chilly mornings, cozy nights, and festive cheer. At Jones Plumbing and Heating, we know how important it is to keep your home warm and comfortable as you gather with loved ones or simply enjoy a quiet evening by the fire. That’s why we want to help you make sure your heater is ready to handle the cold.

Give Your Heater a Holiday Check-Up

Your heater works hard during the winter months, and a little TLC now can save you a lot of trouble later. Regular maintenance not only extends the life of your unit but also keeps your energy bills manageable. Here are some simple tips to get your heater ready for the season:

• Change the air filter. A clean filter allows your heater to work efficiently, improving indoor air quality and cutting down on energy use.
• Test it before the cold settles in. Turn on your heater early in the season to check for any signs of trouble. This way, you can address any issues before it’s freezing outside.
• Clear the area. Make sure there’s nothing blocking vents, grates, or the heater unit itself. This ensures proper airflow and reduces fire hazards.

Signs Your Heater Might Need Attention

Sometimes, heaters don’t blatantly break down but still show signs that something’s not quite right. Watch for these warning signals:

• Strange noises. Banging, squealing, or rattling sounds could indicate parts that are worn out or loose.
• Uneven heating. Some rooms staying cold while others are warm could signal issues with your ductwork or the system itself.
• Sudden spikes in your energy bill. If your bill is unusually high without a clear reason, your heater might be working too hard due to inefficiency.
• Short cycling. If your heater keeps turning on and off too quickly, it’s time to call in the professionals.
• Unpleasant smells. Musty or burning odors coming from your heater could mean dust, mold, or mechanical problems.

If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait until the winter chill takes over. A quick repair now can prevent bigger—and more expensive—problems down the line.
