Holiday HVAC Checklist for Vancouver Homeowners
Before the holiday season arrives, use this checklist to ensure your HVAC system is ready for guests, colder weather, and increased demand on your home heating system.
Expert Tips for Holiday HVAC Checklist for Vancouver Homeowners
1. Schedule a pre-holiday furnace or boiler tune-up if you have not had annual maintenance — ensure reliable heat for holiday gatherings. 2. Replace your air filter before guests arrive — a clean filter ensures good airflow and indoor air quality for a house full of people. 3. Test your thermostat programming for the holiday schedule — adjust for daytime occupancy during holiday gatherings and nighttime setbacks. 4. Check your carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms — replace batteries and test units before increased heating system use. 5. Inspect outdoor vent terminations for nests, debris, or ice buildup that could block venting during cold weather. 6. Know the location of your main water shutoff valve — holiday parties and large gatherings increase the risk of plumbing issues. 7. Keep space heaters available as a backup if your heating system fails during a holiday weekend when service may be delayed. 8. Clean the kitchen exhaust fan and range hood — holiday cooking creates more grease and moisture than usual.
