Keeping Your Home Warm and Efficient in Georgia’s Winter
When temperatures drop across South Georgia, from Thomasville to Bainbridge, having a reliable heating system becomes crucial for your family’s comfort. Air Conditioning Technology understands the importance of maintaining your home’s heating system, and we’re here to share some valuable insights.
Preventative Maintenance Tips:
- Schedule annual furnace inspections before winter
- Replace air filters every 1-3 months
- Keep vents and returns clear of obstruction
- Monitor unusual sounds or odors
- Check thermostat accuracy regularly
Warning Signs Your Furnace Needs Attention:
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to call a professional:
- Uneven heating throughout your home
- Unexpected increases in energy bills
- Strange noises during operation
- Yellow pilot light (should be blue)
- Frequent cycling on and off
Regional Considerations
Whether you’re in Cairo, Pelham, Camilla, or Ochlocknee, our subtropical climate means your heating system might go unused for extended periods. This makes regular maintenance even more critical to ensure proper function when needed.
When to Consider Replacement
Most furnaces last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Consider replacement if:
- Your unit is over 15 years old
- Repairs exceed 50% of replacement cost
- Energy bills keep rising despite maintenance
- Your home never feels comfortable enough
Remember, investing in regular maintenance can extend your system’s life and prevent costly emergency repairs during the coldest days of the year.
