Although winter is almost over. Some issues may still arise. Here is a very common issue home owners may encounter in the winter months.
That time of year everyone!! Actually it should occur every 3 Months or so. We should be replacing our furnace filters.. Remove and wash, brush or vacuum permanent filters. Remove the cover of your thermostat & vacuum away dust & dirt. Check your exhaust vents from furnace. and most important of all, Keep exhaust vents clear of excess snow build- up.
Did you know? Most manufactured home furnaces draw combustion air from beneath the home, so be sure to keep four to six vents in the skirting clear of snow, to allow free air passage.
Did You Know? Weather striping exterior doors and windows is an inexpensive heat-saver. To detect heat loss, just hold your hand at the edge if a window or door frame on a windy day. If you feel a draft, weather-strip the area.
Did You Know? Frozen pipes can mean big trouble.. One of the simplest methods to prevent water pipes from freezing is with heat tapes. These contain a heating element encased in a tape that is wrapped around water pipes. The heating element warms the pipes and prevents freezing. If you are installing heat tape, follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. If you have heat tape installed already, make certain it's still operative. If it's worn or loose, Replace it.. Make sure to never overlap the heat tape- it can cause a fire.
Did You Know? Once winter sets in, be sure to shovel snow and ice away from the skirting to avoid denting and cutting off the air supply required by the furnace.
