Technicians at Atlas Butler are preparing for a sharp rise in service calls as households throughout the area turn on their heat for the first time in months. Justin Smith with Atlas Butler said that if a heating unit fails to reach the temperature set on the thermostat or struggles to maintain warmth, it typically signals an underlying mechanical problem.

According to Smith, clogged or dirty air filters are the most common source of heating trouble. Technicians recommend replacing air filters every one to three months, with more frequent changes needed in homes with pets. Smith likened regular filter replacements to routine vehicle oil changes, calling it an essential task heading into the winter months.

Heating professionals strongly urge residents to turn on their systems now to verify they are functioning properly, rather than waiting until outside temperatures drop into the teens and single digits. Scheduling an inspection early helps catch unexpected safety or operational issues in advance, giving homeowners time to complete necessary repairs and avoid expensive emergency service calls during severe cold spells.

Dadka Columbus oo Loogu Baaqay inay Baaraan Kuleyliyaha Ka Hor Qabowga

Iyadoo cimilada magaalada Columbus, Ohio ay bilaabayso inay qabowdo, khubarada ku takhasusay farsamada kuleyliyeyaasha ayaa ugu baaqaya dadka deggan deegaanka inay tijaabiyaan qalabkooda kuleyliyaha guryaha ka hor inta aysan bilaaban xilliga qaboobaha ba’an.

Farsamayaqaannada ka tirsan shirkadda Atlas Butler ayaa isu diyaarinaya kororka wicitaannada gargaarka iyo dayactirka, maadaama qoysas badan ay daaranayaan kuleyliyeyaashooda markii ugu horreysay muddo bilooyin ah. Justin Smith oo ka tirsan shirkadda Atlas Butler ayaa sheegay in haddii qalabku uusan gaarsiin karin guriga heerkulka loogu talagalay ama uu ku adkaado inuu kuleylka ilaaliyo, ay taasi inta badan calaamad u tahay inay jirto cilad xagga farsamada ah.

Sida uu tilmaamay Smith, shaandhada hawada (air filter) oo wasakhowda ayaa ah sababta ugu badan ee keenta ciladaha nidaamka kuleyliyaha. Khubaradu waxay ku talinayaan in shaandhada hawada la beddelo hal ilaa saddex biloodba mar, iyadoo dadka xayawaanka gurijoogta ah leh looga baahan yahay inay xitaa ka badsadaan intaas. Smith ayaa arrintan la meel dhigay beddelidda saliidda baabuurka, isaga oo xusay in dayactirka nidaamka kuleyliyaha uu muhiimad la mid ah leeyahay.

Khubarada ayaa si adag ugu dhiirrigelinaya dadweynaha inay daaraan qalabkooda oo ay xaqiijiyaan inuu si habboon u shaqeynayo hadda, halkii ay ka sugi lahaayeen inta heerkulku aad hoos ugu dhacayo. Smith wuxuu sheegay in baaritaanka iyo dayactirka xilli hore la sameeyo ay gacan ka geysaneyso ogaanshaha cilladaha ammaan iyo kuwa shaqo ee qalabka ku yimaada, taas oo ka hortageysa burbur degdeg ah iyo kharashyo badan oo lagu bixiyo dayactirka xaaladaha degdegga ah inta lagu jiro qabowga daran.
