3 Tips for Saving Energy While You're on a Trip

As the long summer days begin to shorten and cooler evenings start to settle in, it's a clear sign that fall is just around the corner. While most people are still focused on back-to-school shopping or squeezing in one last vacation, savvy homeowners know now is the perfect time to get ahead of the season—especially when it comes to your furnace. At Alpine Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Refrigeration, we’ve seen it too many times: the first cold snap hits, and suddenly the phones are ringing off the hook with emergency furnace repairs. Don’t wait until you’re left in the cold. Here’s why getting a jump on fall by scheduling a furnace tune-up now is a smart move. 🔧 Why Early Furnace Maintenance Matters 1. Avoid the Fall Rush Once the temperatures drop, we get flooded with calls. By booking your maintenance now, you avoid the waitlist and ensure your system is ready when you need it most. 2. Improve Efficiency A well-maintained furnace runs more efficiently, using less energy to heat your home. That means lower energy bills and less wear and tear on your system. 3. Catch Problems Early Routine inspections can uncover small issues before they turn into expensive repairs. Whether it’s a dirty burner, a loose wire, or a worn-out ignitor, it’s better to find it in August than on a freezing November night. 4. Extend Your System’s Lifespan Your furnace is one of the most expensive pieces of equipment in your home. Annual maintenance helps ensure it lasts as long as possible, delaying the need for a costly replacement. 5.
