Every one of us are in for another freezing winter.
But our house is ready.
The heating maintenance has been completed plus that’s the last next to last thing on the list when it comes to Winter time prep. I start getting things ready for Winter time as early as mid summer. This is more for all the wood I have to get cut, break plus stacked. Every one of us use a wood stove as a supplemental heating source in addition to emergency heating in case of power outages or a gas furnace problem. But with the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C maintenance each fall, we’ve never experienced the gas furnace splitting down on us. Once all the wood is all stacked up, I focus on the house plus the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C equipment. I make sure that the weather stripping is in good shape plus upgrade any that needs it. Keeping the house sealed tight also includes yearly inspections of the exterior in addition to insulation levels in the attic. Once the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C professional completes the heating maintenance, I only have one last job to complete the Winter time prep. And that job consists of myself and others putting a solid plastic cover over the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C cabinet outside. This is essentially protecting the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C cooling component for the long Winter time spent outside in the elements. The hard plastic shell keeps the weight of snow plus ice from damaging delicate parts inside the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C cabinet. Plus, some of the icicles that fall from the top of the roof could entirely mangle the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C component as well if left unprotected. It’s sort of ironic that I finish preparations for Winter time by protecting the source of our Heating, Ventilation plus A/C cooling.
