Chicagoland winters can be brutally cold, sending some of us to hide under cozy blankets. As we start to head into the colder months, now is a good time to prepare your home for winter. Getting your home ready for winter doesn’t have to be a dreadful affair, there are some easy ways to keep your home warm and comfy during our coldest months.
During winter, the furnace is one of the most critical components in your home. A properly maintained system will deliver maximum heat output without wasted energy, or the risk of harmful emissions. If you defer maintenance for too long, however, your furnace could become costly to run, harmful to indoor air quality, or even break down when you need it most.
You have likely experienced the annoying sound of a faucet that won’t stop drip… drip… dripping. Not only is the rhythmic sound irritating, a leaking faucet can increase your water bill significantly and lead to costly water damage.
One of the most efficient ways to avoid catastrophic plumbing problems and the high costs associated with them is understanding the condition of your home’s sewer stack and sewer line.
There are many reasons why your home could have low water pressure, and isolating it to one faucet certainly narrows the possible causes. Identifying the reasons behind a slow water stream in your faucet is the first step toward making the necessary repairs.
A functioning thermostat will regulate the right amounts of warmth and coolness in your home. However, there are times when your air temperature may drop below the thermostat’s set temperature. If the indoor temperature of your home does not match your thermostat setting, here’s what you need to know.
Your garbage disposal plays an important role in disposing of unwanted leftovers, expired food, and discarded peels. It keeps your kitchen smelling fresh and clean. It makes cleaning up after dinner easy, and it reduces the amount of garbage that can end up in landfills. Yet, we often take our disposals for granted.
Part of good home maintenance is preparing your mechanical equipment for upcoming seasonal changes. When it comes to your furnace, it needs to be checked at least once every year, and several benefits are associated with such maintenance.
Air filters also provide a first line of defense against larger objects — such as bits of loose insulation — from being pulled into the system where they could cause damage or present a fire risk. You may have heard HVAC filters should be changed every 90 days. But, you lead a busy life, and it’s easy to forget this task.
Your water heater does more than bring you hot water on demand for showers and baths. It also provides hot water for other appliances such as your washing machine and dishwasher. However, over time and with regular use, it’s inevitable your water heater will begin to wear out. Here are some warning signals to help you prepare for such an occurrence.
