Home heating maintenance recommended ahead of seasonal weather shifts

Homeowners are advised to prepare heating systems ahead of seasonal temperature shifts. In Los Angeles, the anticipated El Niño pattern for 2026 is expected to increase demand for home heating due to wetter and cooler winter conditions, particularly during chilly coastal mornings and rainy spells.

In Georgia, experts recommend scheduling professional furnace tune-ups before the arrival of cooler nights. Regular maintenance, such as inspecting heat exchangers and burners, can improve energy efficiency, extend the lifespan of the equipment, and enhance home safety by identifying potential issues before they lead to emergency repairs.
