Remember that -20 degree weather we experienced in 2018, and the record snowfall we experienced last year? While we may be enjoying the perfect beginning-of-fall weather right now, it’s never too early to prep your home and appliances for the freezing temperatures soon to come.
Do you have an appliance that is on the fritz? Your appliances have been working hard all summer to keep their temperatures regulated despite the heat. If one of your appliances is starting to show signs of wear or malfunction, now is the time to get it looked at, before it’s working extra hard once again to maintain it’s necessary temperature once the weather gets chilly.
Here are a few other reasons why fall is the best time to prep your home and appliances for winter:
October is Fire Prevention Month
Schedule your dryer vent cleaning and gas fireplace maintenance while its importance is on the top of your mind. October is Fire Prevention Month, observed to raise awareness about fire safety and help ensure your home and family are prepared in the event of an emergency. The National Fire Protection Association named the second week in October Fire Prevention Week in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire. Today, the month of October is used as a reminder to improve your home’s safety to help prevent a disaster from happening to you.
Westside can help improve the safety of your home by:
- Cleaning your dryer vents to help prevent the #1 cause of dryer fires in the U.S.
- Clean and repair your gas fireplace, including turning on your pilot light and addressing any issue that might cause large flames or excess gas.
Save Money on Your Heating Bill in these Transitional Months
There’s nothing better than being able to turn off your air conditioning and opening your windows to let the crisp autumn breeze cool your home before needing to turn on your furnace. Keep your home warm during these transitional seasons by installing a blower on your gas fireplace. Enjoy the coziness of a fire, and turn on your furnace fan to distribute the heat throughout your whole house. You’ll also thank us for having this once the weather reaches negative temperatures and your home is still toasty warm!
