Temperatures are now declining, and the frigid winter months are approaching. And while many parts of the country are enjoying crisp autumn mornings in October, if the Farmer’s Almanac is right, about two-thirds of the nation will be in for a colder-than-average winter throughout 2013 and into 2014. Of course, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center is forecasting a slightly warmer-than-average winter across much of the country during this same time frame.
No matter which prediction you choose to believe, one thing is certain – winter is approaching. And research has shown that heating equipment was involved in roughly one of every seven reported home fires in 2011. As temperatures get colder across the country, proper and regular maintenance of HVAC systems is critical, and One Hour Air Conditioning & Heating® is here to help!
