 One concept that seems to be lost on most homeowners is the fact that you don't have to wait until something goes wrong before you call out a heating repair specialist. In fact, if you take this proactive approach to your HVAC system, you're far less likely to need expensive fixes that leave you in a jam later on down the road. There are few things worse than having to spend several evenings enduring a freezing house because an unexpected problem hit your machinery. If you've ever dealt with this problem in the past, you may want to know how you can avoid it in the future. Here are three important steps you can take to ensure that you don't wind up with a surprise bill.

Filters

Don't overlook the importance of changing your filters on a regular basis. By doing so, you can avoid putting extra stress on your HVAC unit. Not only will it let the air flow more freely throughout your home, but you will have fewer allergens and less dust in the atmosphere of your home. Many manufacturers recommend changing your air filter once a month, though you may be able to get away with doing it once a season, depending on the level of dust in your home and the frequency with which you run the system. Clogged filters can easily lead to expensive heating repair, so change them regularly.
