3 Tips to Keep Your Furnace Hot All Winter Long

Winters in New York are notoriously frigid, but your home shouldn't be. Reliable Heating & Cooling, your trusted local HVAC partner, understands the importance of having a fully functioning heating system to keep you and your loved ones comfortable and safe. We're here to help you keep your home warm, whether you need to repair an old furnace or install a new one. Check out these three tips to keep your furnace hot all winter long!


1.) Don't Delay Scheduling Repairs

While it can be tempting to put off scheduling minor repairs, doing so can lead to more costly damage. Don't let a small problem get out of control. Contact our highly skilled team at Reliable Heating & Cooling right away for your Brooklyn furnace repair.


Here are a few of the signs that repairs are necessary:

  • Difficulty starting the furnace
  • Reduced airflow 
  • Peculiar smells or noises
  • Uneven heating
  • Elevated energy bills 
  • Gas leaks


2.) Schedule Routine Maintenance

Did you know that one of the most effective ways to ensure your furnace stays hot all winter long is to schedule routine maintenance? This simple step can save you a significant amount of money, help reduce your energy bills, and prolong the lifespan of your furnace. Our friendly team makes it easy with our multiple maintenance plans, designed to fit any budget.


These appointments prevent unexpected and often costly breakdowns and guarantee that you always have an HVAC system that works at its full potential. Our technicians assess and diagnose any problems we find before they escalate, and our expertly trained technicians make many repairs on the spot. 


When you partner with Reliable Heating & Cooling, your active maintenance plan will include additional benefits like discounts and priority service. Plus, future emergency appointments will be scheduled immediately without the stress of paying an overtime fee. We proudly service all makes and models, ensuring you get the best products and services on the market.


3.) Change the Air Filter

Your furnace's air filter works hard to prevent dust and other debris from decreasing your indoor air quality. Adequate airflow is essential for any HVAC system's performance and longevity. Over time, this vital component can become clogged as airborne pollutants collect. By changing your air filter regularly, you will breathe easier and enjoy a furnace that maintains peak performance. That means money savings on your energy bills, a longer-lasting appliance, and the need for less frequent repairs.


Some signs that your indoor air quality is diminished include:

  • Visible dust accumulation
  • Frequent headaches or fatigue
  • Persistent allergies or asthma symptoms
  • Unpleasant indoor odors
  • Excessive humidity or dryness


If you notice any of the red flags above, don't worry! Any effort to improve your indoor air quality can help eliminate unwanted allergy triggers. Reliable Heating & Cooling is here to help! Contact us today and start enjoying the advantages of improved indoor air quality and a furnace that you can rely on to keep your home cozy all season.
