Since
Canada is placed well in the North, temperatures can get low even in the summer
months. In Stony Plain, the hottest month is July with an average high of 25
degrees. Still, it can get a bit cold at night, reaching as low as 13 degrees.
From there, the temperatures will drop, reaching an average low of zero degrees
on October. Come December, even the average high gets below zero – only rising
above zero on March.
With this
kind of climate, it’s important to keep heaters in good condition throughout
the year. When cold nights strike, heating in the home is going
to be invaluable. Thus, it’s important to conduct a regular inspection of your
home’s heating system, especially if it’s more than 10 years old.
Taking care
of your furnace should ultimately be left to the professionals, though a
homeowner can do certain things such as minor inspections. For example, you can
take a look at the filter. If its dirty or worn out, it’s just a matter of
cleaning or replacing the filter – a task the average homeowner can take care
of easily. You can also take care of maintaining cleanliness on the area around
the equipment.
Other
things to watch out for are unusual sounds, smells, and other oddities when the
equipment is in operation. It might mean it needs a further inspection from
professionals.
