Essential Winter Maintenance Tips for Your Home Comfort Systems


Protecting Your Home’s Vital Systems This Winter

As winter approaches here in San Luis Obispo County, ensuring your home’s comfort systems are operating at peak efficiency becomes increasingly important. At Wighton’s, we’ve been helping Central Coast residents maintain comfortable, efficient homes since 1953, and we’ve learned a thing or two about winter preparedness along the way.

The Importance of Preventive Maintenance

Your heating system works overtime during the colder months, making regular maintenance crucial for optimal performance. Here are several key areas that deserve attention:

• Regular filter changes to maintain air quality and system efficiency
• Inspection of heating components for wear and tear
• Thermostat calibration checks
• Ductwork examination for potential leaks
• Carbon monoxide detector testing

Plumbing Protection

While San Luis Obispo’s winters are relatively mild, unexpected cold snaps can still pose risks to your plumbing system. As part of our comprehensive service approach at Wighton’s, we recommend:

• Insulating exposed pipes
• Sealing air leaks around plumbing
• Checking outdoor faucet covers
• Inspecting water heater performance
