As overnight temperatures begin to fall in the Phoenix metro area, Arizona Refrigeration Service Inc. is encouraging homeowners to check their heating systems before the first cool nights arrive. The Tempe-based HVAC contractor notes that because many homes run air conditioning for most of the year, furnaces and heat pumps may sit unused for months, making pre-season checks essential.
Checking a heating system before it is needed leaves time to spot any issues and schedule service at a convenient time, according to the company. A few simple checks now can help families feel ready when overnight temperatures drop.
Homeowners may want to switch the thermostat to heat and confirm the system turns on and warm air reaches the vents; check the air filter and replace it if it looks dirty; make sure supply vents and return grilles are open and not blocked by furniture or rugs; listen for unusual noises or odors when the system runs; and note any rooms that feel cooler than the rest of the home.
Anyone who spots a problem, or would like a technician to look at their system, can contact Arizona Refrigeration Service Inc. The company provides heating repair for furnaces and heat pumps, as well as furnace and heating system installation. It also offers air conditioning repair, installation and maintenance, HVAC installation, indoor air quality services and air duct testing.
For homes with an older heating system, or one that is no longer keeping the house comfortable, the company's team can talk through repair and replacement options, including furnace and heat pump systems.
Based in Tempe, Arizona Refrigeration Service serves homeowners across the greater Phoenix area, including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, Glendale, Peoria, Goodyear and Surprise.
The announcement matters for homeowners because a heating system that fails on the first cold night can leave families without warmth and lead to emergency repair costs. By checking now, homeowners can avoid the inconvenience of a breakdown during peak demand and potentially extend the life of their equipment through timely maintenance. For the HVAC industry, the push for pre-season inspections highlights the importance of scheduled maintenance in a region where heating systems are often overlooked. Arizona Refrigeration Service, a family-owned, independent contractor serving the area since 1982, aims to help residents prepare for winter with these simple steps.
