Essential Home Maintenance Tips for Western Pennsylvania Winters
Preparing Your Home for Harsh Pennsylvania Winters
When temperatures drop across Westmoreland and Cambria counties, having reliable heating and plumbing systems isn’t just a comfort—it’s a necessity. At Highlands Quality Climate Control, we understand the unique challenges that homeowners face in communities from Derry to Johnstown and everywhere in between.
Winter Preparation Checklist
Before the first frost hits, consider these essential maintenance steps:
• Schedule a professional furnace inspection
• Insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing
• Clean or replace furnace filters
• Check for drafts around windows and doors
• Test your thermostat’s accuracy
Signs Your Heating System Needs Attention
Don’t wait until your furnace completely fails before seeking professional help. Watch for these warning signs:
• Unusual noises during operation
• Inconsistent heating throughout your home
• Higher than normal energy bills
• Frequent cycling on and off
• Poor air quality or unusual odors
