Bucks County Heating and AC Use is on the Fritz

The United States has had some noteworthy weather these past few years. The past two winters yielded unprecedentedly warm weather and little snowfall; as a matter of fact, last year's was one of the warmest overall in the recorded history of the continental US. The summer to follow was record-breakingly warm as well. On top of it all, there has been below average rainfall as of late, especially on the coasts.

All this information might lead you to think that for the impending year you'll be minimally using your heating and air conditioning if you live in Bucks County (or anywhere on the East Coast, for that matter). However, the contrary is true – the unseasonable warmth will come to a halt this winter, especially in our neck of the woods. The east coast is anticipated to receive plenty of snowfall and more days with temperatures in the neighborhood of 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

If you're not a fan of Jack Frost, you might want to make an appointment with an HVAC services company to perform the (what should be) yearly routine maintenance on your unit. There are many things that could go wrong – and expensive things, at that – with a furnace or heating system, and you don't want to find that out in the midst of a blizzard. Getting your maintenance out of the way will prevent any unpleasant surprises come the colder months and could help you to avoid costly repairs in the future.

While you're at it, you might want to dust off the snow shovels (we know it's been a while) and make sure you're loaded up on salt before the colder-weather months come to greet you. Bundle up, Bucks County!
