Preparing Your HVAC for Cold Weather

(View as a downloadable PDF)

Winter in Southern New Jersey can be the toughest season, but there are some things you can do to prepare your HVAC for winter. 

Schedule Home Heating Maintenance

Make sure your heating system is up to speed for winter with HVAC maintenance! A heating tune-up checks belts and other parts, cleans essential components, and tests the system. A furnace tune-up is worth it and will help you stay comfortable all winter long. 

Take Your Heating System for a Test Drive 

Turn your heat on for a few weeks before the snow flies to ensure it’s running smoothly. Any funny sounds or strange symptoms? Give us a call!

Change Your Air Filters & Clean Your Vents 

When your house is buttoned up, it’s important to have clean filters for healthy air! Duct cleaning is another way to improve home health. Dirty ducts circulate dust and allergens and can make you feel sick.

Install a Programmable or Smart Thermostat 

Maximize your heating system with a new programmable or smart thermostat. They learn your heating needs and boost your energy efficiency. You’ll be amazed at your heating cost savings!

Seal Air Leaks

Drafty rooms? Hard-to-heat areas? The problem could be air leaks! An ENERGY STARr® home energy audit can spot leaks and show you where your home needs air sealing.

Through a Competitive Application Process South Jersey Rising Juniors and Seniors Selected for Exposure to Careers, Entrepreneurship and Wellness

The Bovio Rubino Service Young Women’s Leadership Conference takes place on Wednesday, July 15 at the HVAC and Plumbing Services company’s headquarters in Voorhees.

The 13 South Jersey young women selected to attend the Conference are all rising juniors and seniors at local high schools. They completed applications and were chosen through a competitive process. At the Conference they will gain exposure to career paths, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, problem solving and mind and body wellness. A community service project benefitting Cathedral Kitchen in Camden is also planned.

Subject matter experts presenting at the Young Women’s Leadership Conference in addition to Hines include CEO of ACCU Staffing Elaine M. Damm, Senior Investment Manager at Aberdeen plc Zoe McCormick, Jennifer Nagle, Vice President of External Affairs and Special Projects, Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau, Senior Product Manager at SimpliSafe Molly Nugiel, Founder of Higher Minds Laura Rubino and Dr. Barbara Winfield, owner of Family Practice Associates of Voorhees.

After being named one of the top 12 Women in HVAC in America in 2025 by ACHR News, Hines made advancing young women the Bovio Rubino Service community case for 2026. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) women made up 1.5 percent of HVAC mechanics and installers in 2021. Even fewer women own and run HVAC and Plumbing service companies independently. Hines had few women role models coming up in the business.

“I want to give young women every opportunity for success as they advance in life, both in their careers and as citizens,” Hines, a Mom of two daughters in college and high school, said. “As the owner of a thriving, independent, family-owned business in South Jersey, it’s my way of paying it forward. We are very busy designing the Conference ensuring it will have high impact on the young women in attendance.”

The Bovio Rubino Service Young Women’s Leadership Conference is the program highlight of the HVAC and Plumbing Service company’s 2026 community cause “LeadHERship in ’26” which advances opportunities for young women through career readiness, entrepreneurship, community betterment and a personal health and wellness mindset.
