Episode Notes

With highs still reaching the 70s and 80s, turning on the heat is probably the furthest thing from your mind. Fall is a welcome break from South Carolina's sweltering summer heat. But the cooldown never stops there.

It's easy to forget that Columbia is less than 50 days away from its first average frost. And whatever day it actually happens, it's a bad day to remember that you forgot that your furnace needed service. October is one of the best times of the year to address your home heating needs, according to the HVAC experts at Elite Air & Heat of Columbia.

South Carolina is experiencing a warm fall this year, but statistically, Columbia is fewer than 50 days away from its first frost. On average, the first freeze is November 20, according to the National Gardening Association. However, the risk increases dramatically as early as October 26.

The first frost occurs the first evening of the fall when the temperature drops below 32. By that time, the region has usually seen several nights in the 50s and 40s. If you haven't tuned up your system by the first night below freezing, you're behind the 8-ball.

If you're suddenly remembering the furnace problems you deferred last spring, it's not too late for a tune-up. October is one of the months heating professionals recommend having your system checked. It's actually in a sweet spot between heavy air conditioner and heating system use, so having your system down for a few hours is relatively comfortable.

Or maybe you've decided it's time for a new system. There's no better time than October to have new heating solutions installed. Instead of wasting money running a failing system, you get the benefit of peak efficiency and lower heating costs all winter long.

South Carolina winters are brisk but not brutal, so there are a number of products to consider across cost and efficiency tiers, according to the HVAC experts at Elite Air & Heat. The state's relatively mild climate allows for energy-efficient heat pump installation as well as furnaces for gas, electric, and oil systems. Some companies also offer geothermal options as well as boilers for hot water and steam heating. Radiant heating system, ductless mini-splits, and hybrid options can also warm Columbia homes and businesses effectively.

Since October is the last, best month for heating tune-ups and upgrades, technician schedules fill quickly. Don't get left out in the cold - schedule today!
