Give Your Home Heating System the Professional Once Over

Realty Times - Malfunctioning home heating systems increase the risk of carbon-monoxide (CO) poisoning and cause some 6,000 fires costing $47 million in property damage each year, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Experts advise that you hire a licensed professional to give your home heating and cooling systems the once over at least once a year.
When properly maintained, home heating systems are not only safer, but work more efficiently to help offset the rising costs of fuel. Clean, efficient systems also last longer.
There are certain tasks you can and should perform including changing or cleaning your filter as often as recommended in your heater's manual. Also keep heat registers and radiators free of dust, dirt and debris.
Older systems may also require blower-motor or water-pump lubrication. And you should replace batteries in related devices including digital thermostats, CO alarms and smoke alarms.
More than worth the cost, a professional inspection goes a lot further.
