Pack a \u201ccold kit\u201d for your car with a blanket, gloves and hats in the chance you get stuck in a snow drift. In case your furnace breaks down or you are looking to temporarily heat a garage or workspace, it\u2019s good to have a couple of <a href=\"https:\/\/keithspecialty.com\/cgi-keithspecialty\/sb\/productsearch.cgi?search_field=space%20heater\">space heaters<\/a> handy. Be sure to correctly power these space heaters by checking the amperage on the appliance. Check out the video below for more information on what can go wrong and why.

The general rule of thumb is to change your furnace filters every 90 days, but depending on variables like your air quality it may need to be switched more often. Prevent emergency maintenance on your furnace by keeping an eye on how dirty your filter is becoming. Want to know more about the importance of furnace filter maintenance? <a href=\"https:\/\/keithspecialty.com\/blog\/furnace-filter-maintenance\/\">Check out this recent blog<\/a>. If you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/keithspecialty.com\/k\/71-819.htm\">whole-house humidifier<\/a>, be sure to check the <a href=\"https:\/\/keithspecialty.com\/k\/71-828.htm\">media pad<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>#3: Where are your heat leaks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/keithspecialty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pexels-bidvine-2293819-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Caulking windows for winter\" class=\"wp-image-817\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider your home draftiness. If you have storm windows, now\u2019s the time to lower them. Make sure the <a href=\"https:\/\/keithspecialty.com\/cgi-keithspecialty\/sb\/productsearch.cgi?storeid=*0ee0f14a0870280c8d&amp;search_field=caulk\">caulking<\/a> and weather stripping around your windows and doors is still secure and not warping or pulling away. Be sure to remove any old caulk before applying a fresh bead. Whenever you feel a draft throughout the winter, grab that caulk gun and seal it up. These small leaks can make a big difference for your heat retention.

If you have heating tape installed in the areas where pipes freeze, make sure they work. Pipe insulation is easy to put in and can prevent bursts or dripping condensation that lead to costly water damage in your home. Know where your water shut off valves are and keep <a href=\"https:\/\/keithspecialty.com\/cgi-keithspecialty\/sb\/productsearch.cgi?storeid=*0ee0f14a0870280c8d&amp;search_field=thermacell\">Thermacell<\/a> around to repair any damage to previous pipe insulation.

Household fires happen more often in the winter so it\u2019s a good time to make sure the batteries are working well. Furnaces, dryer vents, fireplaces and chimneys can be sources for CO and every moment counts when a leak occurs. More information on considerations for household smoke and CO alarms can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstalert.com\/community\/safety-corner\/6-things-to-know-about-carbon-monoxide-alarms\/\">be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>#6: Think of the little things<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/keithspecialty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pexels-mohamed-abdelgaffar-1084213-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-819\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In case of power outages, keep extra batteries and flashlights around, as well as a few gallons of water for drinking, cooking and toilet flushing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check the kind of batteries that your thermostat requires. Inevitably the need to change the batteries will happen at midnight on a Saturday so it\u2019s good to have both the batteries and lights handy. If you have an older thermostat, consider switching to a <a href=\"https:\/\/keithspecialty.com\/cgi-keithspecialty\/sb\/productsearch.cgi?storeid=*0ee0f14a0870280c8d&amp;search_field=digital+thermostat\">digital, programmable thermostat<\/a> that will save you on overall heating costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>#7: Keep hot water going<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/keithspecialty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pexels-pixabay-161502-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-820\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Flush your <a href=\"https:\/\/keithspecialty.com\/cgi-keithspecialty\/sb\/productsearch.cgi?storeid=*0ee0f14a0870280c8d&amp;search_field=water+heater\">hot water heater tank<\/a> and double-check its insulation. This is a process that needs to happen more often if you have hard water. Accumulated sediment creates a heat barrier that will make your water heater less efficient.

For <a href=\"https:\/\/keithspecialty.com\/cgi-keithspecialty\/sb\/productsearch.cgi?storeid=*0ee0f14a0870280c8d&amp;search_field=gas+heat\">gas<\/a>, make sure the pilot or electronic ignition is clean and the thermocouple is operational. For <a href=\"https:\/\/keithspecialty.com\/cgi-keithspecialty\/sb\/productsearch.cgi?storeid=*0ee0f14a0870280c8d&amp;search_field=belt+drive\">belt-driven<\/a> motors, <a href=\"https:\/\/keithspecialty.com\/blog\/furnace-belt-maintenance\/\">make sure the belt is running<\/a> strong and true. Check with a local technician for regular tune-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>#9: Reach out for help at the first signs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When possible, think strategically about calling technicians when your heating system starts to act up. For the most part, you will pay extra to have someone come fix your system after hours or on weekends. You can\u2019t always control when things go wrong, but if you do happen to notice early signs you\u2019ll save some money by calling for help on a weekday morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter is here and the fluctuations of temperature and precipitation have arrived to make everything a little more complicated.
