Is Your House Prepared for the January Temperature Drop?  – Kelowna Capital Information

If you haven’t serviced your heating system for the season, there is still time, notes the team at Milani Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning in the Okanagan.

Is Your Home Ready for the January Temperature Drop?

Effective and efficient heating of your home is just a phone call away

When temperatures drop in January and February, is your home heating ready?

While it’s easy to get caught up in the holiday warmth and relatively mild temperatures as autumn gives way to winter, the fact is that the coldest months of the year are just around the corner. And that might bring a cool wake-up call when your system isn’t ready to respond.

If you have not yet serviced your heating system for the season, there is still time. Consider:

  • A regularly cleaned and maintained oven is more energy efficient – a plus for your wallet and the environment. Simply put, clean stoves with unclogged filters don’t have to work as hard to emit clean, warm air. Cleaning air filters also helps slow dust accumulation and improve indoor air quality.
  • Regular maintenance and cleaning will help keep your system running properly and last longer, saving you money on maintenance and replacement costs. However, it is important to only entrust your home’s heating system to licensed professionals, such as the Okanagan’s Milani Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, which has served BC homeowners since 1956.
  • If your heating system is “of a certain age”, regular maintenance will only go so far. The older your heating system is, the less efficient it will be, so at some point it will be time to replace it with a highly efficient model.

Why it might be time to think about a heat pump

Even if the summer heat of deep December is the last thing on your mind, this is just one more reason why a heat pump can make sense for your home. In addition to efficient heating in winter, a heat pump also cools your house in summer – one device ensures year-round comfort.

If this time of year you finally need your home heating upgrade or you’re ready to switch to an energy-efficient heat pump, financing is available – you can even apply online very easily!

And as Milani is a member of the BC Hydro affiliate program you will also find links to the available discounts that can make bringing green, efficient heating and cooling into your home even more affordable.
