Keep Your Home Warm and Safe This Winter Season
As temperatures drop across Chicagoland, from Highland Park to Skokie, ensuring your home’s heating system operates efficiently becomes crucial. Guardian Heating & Cooling understands that a well-maintained furnace is essential for comfortable indoor living throughout the harsh winter months.
Warning Signs Your Furnace Needs Attention
Be alert to these common indicators that your heating system requires professional service:
• Unusual noises or vibrations
• Inconsistent heating throughout your home
• Higher than normal energy bills
• Strange odors when operating
• Frequent cycling on and off
• Yellow pilot light (should be blue)
Preventative Maintenance Steps
While some furnace maintenance requires professional expertise, homeowners in Northbrook, Lincoln Park, and surrounding areas can perform these basic tasks:
1. Replace air filters monthly during peak heating season
2. Keep vents and returns clear of obstruction
3. Check thermostat settings regularly
4. Ensure carbon monoxide detectors are working
5. Schedule professional maintenance annually
