• Frequent cycling on and off

Energy Efficiency Tips

Maximize your heating system’s efficiency with these practical steps:

• Schedule annual professional inspections
• Seal drafts around windows and doors
• Add insulation to your attic and walls
• Install a programmable thermostat
• Keep interior doors open for better air circulation

All Temp Heating & Air Conditioning’s experienced technicians are equipped to handle all aspects of furnace repair and maintenance. We recommend scheduling routine maintenance before the peak winter season to ensure optimal performance when you need it most.

Emergency Preparedness

While regular maintenance can prevent many issues, it’s essential to be prepared for emergencies. Keep these items readily available:

• Emergency contact numbers
• Backup portable heaters

Remember that proper maintenance not only extends the life of your heating system but also helps maintain indoor air quality and reduces energy costs.
