Melissa Irvin • December 23, 2024

Don’t let the Texas winter catch you off guard this year — be ready for the cold weather by giving your heating system the attention it needs. Here are some simple and effective tips for heating system preparation for North Texas winters that will keep your home safe, comfortable, and energy-efficient.

Schedule a Professional Inspection

The best thing for heating systems in Wylie homes is professional maintenance; if you can’t remember the last time your system had it, there’s no better time to schedule yours. 


A qualified HVAC technician can look over your system to see its condition and identify any issues that could lead to issues later. It’s a proactive and essential task every homeowner should include in their heating system preparation for North Texas winters.


Remember Your Air Filters

Another quick but impactful maintenance tip is to swap out and clean your air filters. A dirty filter becomes a hurdle for your heating system, forcing it to work harder than it needs to. 


Start your winter maintenance by swapping out the old filter for a fresh one. Then check in on your filter periodically — ideally once a month — to ensure your system is operating at peak efficiency. The filter is also vital for good indoor air quality. Checking it is a fast task that can help you breathe easily in more ways than one.


Clear Out the Area Around Your Heating System

Having furniture, clothing, or other items around your heating system poses a few problems. One is that it restricts airflow, so your home likely won’t be as comfortable as you’d like. But even more importantly, it can be a fire hazard. 


It’s never good to keep anything flammable around your heating system. Clearing out the area is another effective way to get the most out of your heating system and ensure you and your family stay safe.
