How to Get Your Home Ready for the Winter | Nov. 21, 2024 | News 19 at 6 p.m.
SUMMARY: As temperatures drop in the Tennessee Valley, many are experiencing issues with their heating systems, prompting concerns about burning smells. This is often due to dust buildup, which is typically harmless if it dissipates within 5 to 10 minutes. To avoid heating problems, experts recommend scheduling a system tune-up and ensuring that all entrances have proper weather stripping to prevent heat loss. Regularly replacing air filters also helps maintain the system’s efficiency. For energy savings, the U.S. Department of Energy suggests setting thermostats as low as comfortably possible.
With the drop in temperatures, comes an increase in the number of people cranking up the heat for the first time since last winter.
