The home heating system is not working as it should, but a professional will be here in a couple of days to take care of the problem. Before the technician arrives, it pays to make a few preparations. Here are some issues to address before any type of Heating Repair gets underway.

Easy Access to the Attic

Many people assume that the only thing the technician will need to check is the main unit. In some cases, there will be a need to check the ductwork that conveys the forced air to each room. Since the ductwork happens to be in the attic, it makes sense to ensure the technician will have easy access to the space. Clear a path to the attic stairs and make sure anythings stored in the space is moved away from the ducts. That will make it easier for the professional to check the surface of the ductwork and ensure this part of the system is in good condition.

Protecting the Floors

The professional responding to the request for help will need to move freely in and out of the house while making the Heating Repair. To protect carpeting or hardwood floors, get the drop cloths from the garage and spread them over the floors. This will allow the professional to quickly move in and out of the house without having to worry about tracking in dirt. The cloths can always be removed and shaken once the repair is made.

Dealing with Kids and Pets

Children and pets will likely be interested in what the repair professional is doing. While that is to be expected, the professional can work faster if everyone provides a little room. Assign the kids to keep the family dog away while the work is being done. Setting aside one room for the kids and pets to occupy and making sure they have plenty of things to entertain themselves will ensure things move along at a reasonable pace.
