This is a great way to insure a longer life for your heating and cooling units.

Drain the water from a swamp cooler. 
If you are in a house that has a swamp cooler, you are going to want to drain the water before the cold winter months hit. This will keep the pipes from cracking when the water expands and freezes.

Greenwood HVAC Check thermostat calibration. 
When you are preparing to go into the cold winter months, you need to make sure that your thermostat is calibrated. By insuring that your thermostat is calibrated, you will be able to make sure that you are getting the proper amounts of heat when you turn up your furnace.

Clean out the ducts.
