Luckily, our professionals can help you through this process in no time.\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Prepare Your Home\u2019s Heater for Winter<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are some things you can do to improve your upcoming winter season comfort:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swap Out the Filter<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing you want to do is swap out your heater\u2019s filter. Your HVAC system has a filter that should be swapped out every few months. We specify every few months or once a season because it prepares an HVAC system for the work it has to do ahead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early fall is the perfect time to swap out your filter. It\u2019s simple to do. All you need to do is walk over to your heater, locate the old filter, firmly grasp it on both sides, slide it out, and replace the previous filter with a new one. This is going to help your heater perform better.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintain the Heater<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintenance is the key part of preparation. If you\u2019re wondering about maintenance, then we want you to schedule an appointment with us. We\u2019re going to help you get your heater in perfect shape for the seasons to come. We even have a maintenance plan that you can enroll in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note Any Persistent Problems<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What problems did you have last winter? Think back and note any of the issues that you experienced. Note things like a lack of comfort, rising energy bills, odd scents, weird sounds, or anything else that\u2019s going on that could potentially disturb your peace this upcoming winter. We\u2019ll help you repair these issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider Small Upgrades<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not every upgrade needs to be a complete overhaul. If you want to upgrade smaller parts of your home\u2019s HVAC system, then we\u2019d suggest you start with the thermostat. This part of your HVAC system is small but powerful. It\u2019s the leader of your heating system, and we\u2019ll help you find an updated model for your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider Large Upgrades<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So sometimes the small upgrades aren\u2019t going to cut it. If you\u2019ve had a long time with your home\u2019s heater, you might want to consider upgrading to a new heater entirely. Your heater should last you about 10\u201315 years. If you\u2019re ready to upgrade, we\u2019re the ones who can help you. You don\u2019t have to immediately upgrade to a new version of your old model. There are other options out there and we\u2019ll help you explore them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/contact-us\/service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Contact Scaran when you need to prepare your heater for the winter to come.\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s time for you to get your heater prepared for the cool weather that\u2019s ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[180,88],"class_list":["post-942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heating-service","tag-heater-preparation","tag-staten-island"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=942"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/942\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":947,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/942\/revisions\/947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
