It cuts into valuable time with your family, and it forces you to address a potentially costly and time-consuming problem. It brings the mood down, and it grinds the Christmas festivities to a halt.<\/p>\n<p>If you take a few precautionary steps to adjust your furnace for Christmas ahead of time, though, this won\u2019t happen. The experts at Roman Electric have created a simple list of easy steps you can take right now to ensure your Christmas goes off without a hitch!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Make Sure the Vents Aren\u2019t Blocked<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Hold on, you might be saying. This was supposed to be a furnace maintenance blog, not an interior design guide!<\/p>\n<p>Not so fast. Although your vents aren\u2019t literally attached to your furnace, they\u2019re just as important \u2013 just follow the airflow. When your furnace generates hot air, it\u2019s got to come out somewhere, right? Well, if your vents are covered by couches, tables or other pieces of furniture, then that air doesn\u2019t have anywhere to go.<\/p>\n<p>It gets backed up, and your furnace doesn\u2019t know what to do with all that air. Its efficiency takes a dip as a result, and your home suffers as well as your energy bill.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Change the Air Filter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you change your air filter, it\u2019s like you\u2019re giving your furnace a breath of fresh air. After a month or so, the filter starts struggling to screen out the harmful contaminants and your indoor air quality gets poor in a hurry.<\/p>\n<p>Air filters are fairly inexpensive to replace, but you can upgrade to a higher-efficiency version if you want. Just make sure that your furnace can handle whichever furnace you opt for, since choosing one that is <strong>too<\/strong> high can actually be just as bad as a low-quality one.<\/p>\n<p>Swap your filter out every 30 days or so, and you\u2019ll be golden.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Have Someone Take a Look<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Really, though, there\u2019s nothing better for your furnace this Christmas season than to have someone give it a thorough inspection. Sure, you can come up with little ways here and there to try and optimize your home\u2019s heating unit, but that can only take you so far.<\/p>\n<p>A professional, like the ones from Roman Electric, will look over your unit and all its connections with the trained eye of an expert. They\u2019ll notice tiny, nearly invisible things that would otherwise be almost impossible to spot. You\u2019ll receive trustworthy recommendations for potential problems, and they\u2019ll be able to tell you exactly how to optimize your furnace for Christmas.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Roman Electric: Serving Milwaukee since 1929<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When your furnace is on the fritz, you know who to call! <a href=\"https:\/\/romanelectrichome.com\/hvac-service\/heating\/\">Roman Electric<\/a> has long been a household name in the area for a reason. <strong>Give us a call at 414-369-3798<\/strong> to find out why our service is second to none!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you and your loved ones are all gathered together around the Christmas tree, enjoying the holiday together, dealing with a faulty furnace is the last thing you want to do.
