Keeping Your Home Warm Through Chicagoland’s Harsh Winters

When winter’s icy grip takes hold of the Chicago area, from Bolingbrook to Evanston, having a reliable heating system isn’t just a comfort—it’s a necessity. At All Temp Heating & Air Conditioning, we understand how crucial it is to maintain your heating system before and during the cold season.

Signs Your Furnace Needs Professional Attention

Understanding when your heating system requires service can save you from costly repairs and uncomfortable emergency situations. Watch for these warning signals:

• Unusual noises during operation
• Inconsistent heating throughout your home
• Rising energy bills without explanation
• Yellow pilot light instead of blue
• Frequent cycling on and off

Preventative Maintenance Checklist

Regular maintenance is key to extending your furnace’s lifespan and ensuring optimal performance. Here’s what homeowners across Lincolnwood, Morton Grove, and Skokie should do:

1. Replace or clean air filters monthly
2. Keep vents and returns free from obstruction
3. Check thermostat settings regularly
4. Ensure carbon monoxide detectors are working
5. Schedule professional maintenance annually

The Value of Professional Service

While some maintenance tasks can be handled by homeowners, professional service is essential for comprehensive system care. Our trained technicians thoroughly inspect all components, including:

• Heat exchanger integrity
• Electrical connections
• Burner operation
• Safety controls

When to Consider Replacement

Even with excellent maintenance, every furnace eventually needs replacement. Consider upgrading your system if:

• Your furnace is over 15 years old
• Repairs exceed 50% of replacement cost
• You’re experiencing frequent breakdowns
• Energy efficiency is declining
