When the temperatures dip in January and February, will your home鈥檚 heating system be ready?

While it鈥檚 easy to get caught up in the warmth of the holidays and relatively mild temperatures as autumn gives way to winter, the fact is, the coldest months of the year are just around the corner. And that could bring a chilly wake-up call if your system isn鈥檛 ready to respond.

If you haven鈥檛 had your home heating system serviced for the season, there is still time. Consider:

• A regularly cleaned and serviced furnace is 鈥� a bonus for both your wallet and the environment. Simply put, clean furnaces with unclogged filters do not have to work as hard to push out clean, warm air. Cleaning air filters will also help slow down the accumulation of dust, improving your indoor air quality.
• Regular servicing and cleaning helps your system run properly and last longer, saving you money in servicing and replacement costs. However, it鈥檚 essential to only trust your home鈥檚 heating system to licensed professions, like the Okanagan鈥檚 Milani Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, which has served BC homeowners since 1956.
• If your heating system is 鈥渙f a certain age,鈥� regular servicing will only go so far. The older your heating system is, the less efficient it鈥檚 going to be, so at some point it will be time to replace it with a high-efficiency model.
