Keeping Your Home Warm During Colorado’s Cold Season
As temperatures drop in Colorado Springs, ensuring your heating system operates at peak efficiency becomes crucial for both comfort and safety. High Altitude Heating & Air understands the unique challenges that come with maintaining HVAC systems at higher elevations, where heating equipment works harder to keep your home cozy.
Signs Your Furnace Needs Professional Attention
Don’t wait until your heating system completely fails before seeking help. Watch for these warning signs that indicate your furnace needs professional service:
• Unusual noises during operation
• Inconsistent heating throughout your home
• Higher than normal energy bills
• Yellow pilot light instead of blue
• Frequent cycling on and off
• Strange odors when running
Preventative Maintenance Matters
Regular furnace maintenance isn’t just about preventing breakdowns—it’s about protecting your investment and ensuring your family’s safety. Here’s what homeowners should do:
1. Replace or clean air filters monthly
2. Keep vents and returns free from obstruction
3. Schedule professional maintenance annually
4. Monitor carbon monoxide detectors
5. Clear space around your furnace
When to Consider Furnace Replacement
