Start Preparing for Cold Weather

Labor Day signals the unofficial end of summer here in Draper, UT, and while fall won’t officially start for a few more weeks, it never hurts to plan ahead. Now is an excellent time to start preparing for the cold weather by giving your heating system a once-over and taking a few basic steps around your home. Some of these steps require the services of a professional technician, but you can perform most of them yourself with just a little time and money. We’ve spelled out a list of them below for you.

  • Clear Space Around Your Heater. If you haven;t used your heating system in a while, you may have stacked objects too close to the vents in the interim, or leaves and other detritus may have covered them. Clean your system off and set a space of at least two feet around it to stay clear.
  • Change the Filters. The filters in your heating system need to be changed once every 1-3 months at the least. You likely haven’t needed to during the summer, but now is an optimum time,
  • Schedule a Maintenance Session. You need to schedule a maintenance session from a professional at least once a year to keep your heater running efficiently and catch any potential problems before the weather gets too cold. Doing so now means your heater will be ready to go when the thermostat starts to fall.
  • Weather Stripping. If you have cracks around your doors or windows, the warm air created by your heater can leak out. Use weather stripping from the local hardware store to seal the cracks and help ease the strain on your heating system.

If you need a maintenance session with your heater, or repairs are required before winter starts, call the professionals at At Your Service Plumbing, Heating and Air today!

During this very unusual time, we have put a plan in place to do our part to help keep our community safe. First and foremost, we are going to stay CALM, PATIENT, KIND, and POSITIVE!

There is much to consider regarding the COVID-19 virus (Coronavirus) and its possible transmission in your home. While there are various and effective indoor air quality measures available to help protect your safety, including duct sanitization, ultraviolet (UV) germicidal light treatment, and HEPA air filters, they alone cannot protect from all forms of COVID-19 transmission. It is important to follow all official guidelines for preventing the spread of this virus.

Because we have a direct impact on the indoor environment, here are practical steps we are going to take to keep people safe:

  • Wash our hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water
  • Cover our nose and mouth when sneezing or coughing
  • Wash our uniforms every day including cleaning our belts
  • Stay home if we are feeling sick
  • Offer a warm smile and friendly greeting instead of a handshake
  • Wear shoe covers and latex gloves in homes and businesses
  • Wipe down surfaces and equipment touched in a client’s home with disinfectant wipes
  • Wipe down door handles, steering wheels, gear shift lever every day
  • Wipe down pens, clipboards, tablets, cell phones, and anything else passes between techs and clients.
  • We have masks on each truck and will wear them at client’s discretion (Currently the CDC does not recommend that people wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19)
  • We are complying with all recommendations and guidelines from state agencies and will be proactive in our efforts to see that our team members and clients are protected.

As the situation unfolds, we will take each day one at a time and ensure we are being smart, supportive, and helping all those we can in our community.

Thank you for your continued support!
