El Paso has been surprisingly cold the past couple of weeks. You might have even thought it was already winter. Luckily, it’s not winter just yet! With Daylight Savings just around the corner (November 4th), now is the time to make sure your furnace is functioning properly. At Mechanical Technologies our technicians will inspect your HVAC system and look for any signs of damage. We will help ensure your system is up and running for any type of weather that comes our way!
Before giving us a call, you can take the following steps to prepare:
Test the thermostat.
A properly functioning thermostat will be able to handle switching from cool to warm air with the switch of a button. You can test your HVAC by changing the temperature to a couple of degrees warmer than the room temperature. You should hear the heat turn on within a minute. If you don’t, you will need to have it inspected as something could be wrong with the wiring.
Change the air filters.
Air filters get dirty and need to be replaced every couple of months. Replacing your air filters will keep particles out of your HVAC system and prolong the life of your system overall. If the air filter is dirty Many times the filter will be visibly grey or black, which is the build-up of dust. Your home may also begin to appear dustier than normal. When this does happen, change your filter. You’ll be helping unclog the air that isn’t flowing through and improving the energy efficiency.
Have it professionally inspected and serviced.
Well ahead of those chilly nights, you’ll want to have your furnace in working condition. It’s always best to have your HVAC inspected by a professional technician who can spot any needed repairs or maintenance. Since most homes in El Paso (even the new ones) will get cold once the temperatures drop, you’ll want to ensure your furnace is reliable for the entire winter season.
