This week’s Home Maintenance Tip – Test your heating before winter sets in
With autumn well underway and cooler nights already here in the Adelaide Hills, now's the perfect time to test your heating system before you really need it. Turn on your ducted heating, gas heater or reverse-cycle air conditioner and let it run for 15–20 minutes to make sure everything's working properly. Listen for unusual noises, check that air flows evenly from all vents, and watch for any error lights or weak performance.
Catching a problem now means you can book a service or repair at your convenience, rather than scrambling for an emergency call-out on the coldest night of the year. A quick test today could save you from a chilly winter evening and an expensive after-hours tradie visit down the track.
