Is Your Home Ready for Holiday Guests?

The holiday season means more people in your home — more cooking, more showers, more demands on your heating, plumbing, and electrical systems. Here’s how to make sure your home is ready.

HVAC Check

Test your heating system before guests arrive. Replace the air filter and make sure all vents are open and unobstructed. The last thing you want is a heating breakdown during the holidays.

Plumbing Check

More guests means more demand on your water heater. Make sure it’s set to 120°F and consider flushing sediment if it’s been more than a year. Check under sinks for any slow leaks that should be addressed before the house fills up.

Electrical Check

Holiday lights and extra appliances add load to your electrical system. If your breakers are tripping or you’re relying heavily on extension cords, it’s worth having an electrician take a look before the holidays. Call Air & Energy at 941-778-0773 for pre-holiday service in Bradenton.
