In fact, your first inclination might be to <em>turn up<\/em> the thermostat to make your home especially cozy for your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, keep in mind that on Thanksgiving, your home will heat up naturally due to all of the cooking and baking going on. Also, your house will heat up when you have a large number of guests coming over for dinner. To find the balance, you might want to read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ambientairsolutions.com\/blog\/heating-service\/use-your-thermostat-the-right-way\/\">how to use your thermostat the right way<\/a> and make smart adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">H Is for Heating Maintenance&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t scheduled a tune-up for your heating system, furnace, heat pump, or mini split, there\u2019s still time to do so! Although maintenance is best when it\u2019s done before the heating season starts, this essential service is invaluable any time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Is for Air Filter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of the start of heating season\u2013did you remember to change your HVAC system\u2019s air filter before the cold weather set in?

If anything, they\u2019ll just get louder as Thanksgiving approaches, possibly leaving you without a functional heating system on Turkey Day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than the sound of air flowing from the vents and the system turning off and on, your heating system should be silent. Weird sounds include banging, booming, screeching, clanging, thumping, and clicking. Give us a call if you hear any of these sounds coming from your heating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">K Is for Know the Signs of Trouble<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a furnace or a heat pump?

Short cycling, weak airflow, cold pockets in rooms, and a dirty air filter are the most common issues with heating systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">S is for Savings&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The holiday season is when every penny counts.
