5 Heating Maintenance Tips

Hibu Websites • November 29, 2021

If you've ever experienced a heating system failure, you know how frustrating it can be. However, there are many ways to prevent them from happening again. You need to know what they are and then take the necessary steps. Here are five great ways to prevent a heating system failure.

1. Have Your Heating System Inspected Twice Yearly

Having your heating system inspected by a professional twice per year is probably one of the most important things that you can do to prevent a heating system failure. During this inspection, the HVAC technician will be able to find any issues the heating system has before they become major problems. If no major issues are found, they can fix small ones to prevent them from becoming major problems later on.

2. Replace Your Furnace Filter Once A Month

Furnace filters are designed to trap dust, dirt, hair, pet dander, and other items that can negatively impact your heating system. However, if this is not replaced regularly, it could become clogged up. If you let the furnace filter get too clogged up with debris, it may prevent air from reaching the heat exchanger properly. This could cause your heating system not to work properly or run much longer than it should.

3. Keep Your Air Ducts Clean

Your furnace isn't the only part of your HVAC system that can get dirty, so can the air ducts in your home. If you do not keep these ducts clean, dust, dirt, pet dander, and other debris will clog them. The furnace does filter out some of this but not all of it, which is why it's important to take the time to clean out your air ducts at least once per year.

4. Set Your Thermostat At The Appropriate Temperature

You should always set your thermostat to a temperature that will keep your home comfortable without it running excessively. If you keep it too cold, then your heating system could run for a longer period than needed, and if you keep it too hot, it won't be able to do its job correctly.

5. Have Your Heating System Professionally Repaired Whenever Necessary

Your heating system is something that you need to stay well maintained and in good working order, but if it fails, then you should immediately call a professional technician to come out and make the necessary repairs.

Time For Some Heating Maintenance

The life of an air conditioner can be extended by over 15 years through regular heating maintenance (per Trend Statistics).

10 Tips For Maintaining A Killer Blog

By Hibu Websites • March 29, 2021

A blog consists of frequently, new posts or sometimes called articles, in reverse chronological order. So basically, the latest post appears first on a page. Plus, a blog allows for reader engagement. There’s usually a section at the bottom of the blog post for readers to comment and have further discussions with other readers. Here are some tips for you to help you maintain an interesting, relevant and reader-friendly blog that adds real value to your websites. 1. DESCRIBE THE BLOG RIGHT, RIGHT FROM THE START Think about what you’re going to blog about and write it down in a few short sentences. This description will help you stay aligned when you write posts and let your readers know what they to expect. 2. CREATE A SCHEDULE Schedules work. They keep you on track and focused. They give you structure and goals. If you’ve ever run a race, you know that having a training schedule (and sticking to it) is critical to success. So set a schedule that works for you (publish a new post once a week, twice a week, once every two weeks) and stick to it. 3. OPTIMIZE YOUR BLOG FOR SEO A huge incentive for adding a blog to your site is to have organic content that brings visitors to the site (without paying for them). When you add a blog to your site, you’re adding fresh content that can bring organic traffic, but only if search engines notice the content.
