September is National Preparedness Month, and Appliance Repair Services NYC Plumbing, Heating, A/C, Sewer & Drain Cleaning wants to help prep your New York and New Jersey home for the unpredictable this season. One way that you can get ready for the upcoming cold months is with a fall furnace tune-up. Here are some of the top reasons to call the experts at Appliance Repair Services NYC for your early bird tune-up.

Prevent emergency furnace breakdowns

Your furnace will be less likely to experience a breakdown if you keep it regularly serviced. Appliance Repair Services NYC can provide 24/7 emergency service, guaranteeing a tech will be at your home within the hour. But even a few hours without heat in the winter can be a hardship on you and your family. Schedule your fall tune-up and keep up with regular at-home maintenance to prevent frustrating or frequent breakdowns.

Keep your home safe

You rely on your furnace to keep your family comfortable during the cooler months, but improper care can turn your furnace into a hazard. For example, a cracked heat exchanger could release deadly carbon monoxide into your home’s air. Clogged filters could stop your home’s air from circulating and cause the unit to overheat or even catch fire. Regular tune-ups with the professionals from Appliance Repair Services NYC can help prevent detrimental breakdowns and help protect your family.

Save money on utilities

Another huge benefit to preparing your furnace for fall with a tune-up is a savings in your utilities. When your furnace is running efficiently, you’ll use less energy and eNew Yorkoy lower bills as a result. If your furnace is full of dust or parts are wearing down, additional required energy is reflected both in your utility bills and repair expenses.

Extend the life of your furnace

Depending on the type of heating unit your home has, its life expectancy can range from 15 to 20 years. Boilers can sometimes last a bit less time than heaters and furnaces. Around approximately year 12, you can usually expect your unit to require more investment in its maintenance to keep it running smoothly. However, if you start preventative maintenance early, the life of your heating unit should be extended quite a bit. Investing in a tune-up now can help you save money in the long run.

National Preparedness Month is here, and Appliance Repair Services NYC Plumbing, Heating, A/C, Sewer & Drain Cleaning is ready to prep your home for winter. Our team of expert technicians is always ready to serve homes in need of emergency repair but making arrangements now for the upcoming colder months can help prevent heating breakdowns. Prepare for potentially unpredictable weather early by winterizing your New York and New Jersey home with these helpful tips.

Take stock of winter supplies

The last thing you want is the first big snowfall of the season and no supplies to dig your way out. Or worse, waiting until everything is sold out before you can get your winter supplies. Prepare now for the first snow by making sure you have salt/ice melt on hand, as well as a few high-quality snow shovels.

If you have a snow blower, check that it has gas and is in working condition. Make sure your whole family has hats, boots and gloves that fit for the season. In case of a power outage, keep some flashlights and batteries on hand, too.

Schedule a furnace tune-up

Keep your furnace in working order by scheduling a tune-up now with the experts at Appliance Repair Services NYC. Our team of professional technicians will make sure that your heating unit is in proper working order to help prevent emergency repairs or untimely breakdowns in the cold months of winter.

Of course, if you do have an emergency furnace breakdown, Appliance Repair Services NYC can be there within the hour, no matter the time of day or night. You can also perform DIY maintenance to winterize your HVAC unit, like cleaning your humidifiers and checking the air filter monthly (and replacing when needed).

Prevent burst pipes

Pipes are at risk for bursting in the winter because the water in them can freeze and cause strong pressure between the blockage and the faucet. Winterize your pipes by identifying the ones that are most likely to burst in your home, usually located near external walls.

You can use an insulation sleeve or cover to help prevent water from freezing inside those pipes. If you are still concerned about the safety of your pipes or plumbing, our Appliance Repair Services NYC plumbing experts would be happy to evaluate them.

Add more insulation

Insulation helps more than just your pipes stay warm; it cozies up your whole home. You may be losing heat through cracks in your doors, windows or even siding. Use caulk or insulation to seal cracks and prevent your furnace from working harder than it needs to this winter.

Keep holiday decor safe

Many families are going all out with holiday decor for 2020, but electrical fires are all too common during the winter season. Make sure to turn off or unplug all decorations when leaving the house or going to bed, including candles and tree lights.

Live trees can be a beautiful home addition but keep yours well-watered so it doesn’t become a fire hazard. And if you’re creating an outdoor light display, don’t make Clark Griswold your role model! Overloaded outlets are a common cause of fires during the holiday season.
