Check Out These Busted HVAC Myths & Avoid Furnace Freeze Out This Winter

When we moved into our house, the first winter we lost power one day for nearly the entire day. It was below 20 and it was freezing!

This post is sponsored by Sears Home Services.

Thankfully it was a random outage and the power came back on that night. Even so it’s made me very aware of how important it is to make sure your furnace is working properly before winter comes. Now that we are heading into fall it’s the perfect time to get an HVAC check up from Sears.

Did you know that routine HVAC maintenance helps prevent costly repairs? It can also make your HVAC system more energy efficient. Sears HVAC experts maintain all major types and brands of heating and whole­ house cooling systems. Some of the services they provide include:

  •  Furnace maintenance
  •  Central air conditioner maintenance
  •  Boiler maintenance
  •  Heat pump maintenance
  •  Mini­split system maintenance
  •  Evaporative cooler maintenance

You can book an $89.99 HVAC Preventive Maintenance Check through 11/5/2016 – sign up here

This is all good news because our furnace is on its last legs and we will need to set this up once we get a new one. We knew the furnace wouldn’t last long, when we bought the house and it started acting a bit funny recently. While it’s a good thing that Sears can do a checkup for us, Dave and I have talked about it and we know that it will better in the long run to replace the furnace all together. Not only will we save money on repairs, we can get something more energy-efficient.

That’s why I’m excited that Sears is offering a great HVAC deal right now:

  • Save up to $2,325 on new HVAC systems through 11/15/2016 – check out the deal here

I was also interested to learn that Sears recently debunked a number of HVAC myths. Many I have done myself, including closing vents in unused rooms.
There are also a number of great posts on the Sears Home Services blog to help you get ready for winter:

  • Quick & Easy Fixes For Home Furnaces
  • Heating & Cooling Preventative Maintenance

What about you? How is your furnace looking this winter? Have you ever fallen for any of these HVAC myths?

    Thank you for posting this as our heat pump just quit in the last month. We are looking at replacing the heat pump and furnace so this was definitely posted at the right time for us.
    Debunking the myths was also very helpful.

    Out unit is still working but it’s quite old. I know at some point in the near future we’ll need to be replacing it. Good to know that Sears is running the sale through November.

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog got its name because we have two kids born a year apart and my husband, Dave, and I always joked that "the kids were too wired and we were too tired!" :)

Fast forward a bit—now the kids are off to college (how did that happened so fast!) and since 2009, I’ve been blogging through the chaos, coffee in hand, finding the best in family, travel, and tech—because honestly, who has time for bad gadgets and boring trips?

So, whether you're searching for family travel inspiration, tech gadgets, or tips to enhance family life, you're in the right place because the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here!
