As fall brings cooler temperatures, it’s essential to prepare your HVAC system to ensure a comfortable and energy-efficient home. Here are some important do’s and don’ts to keep in mind:
Do’s:
- Do schedule a professional HVAC maintenance check-up. Fall is an ideal time to have your system inspected and tuned up by experts to catch any issues early.
- Do change your air filters. Clean filters help maintain airflow, improve air quality, and prevent your system from working harder than necessary.
- Do check your thermostat settings. Adjust the thermostat to match fall temperatures and consider investing in a programmable thermostat for energy efficiency.
- Do clear the area around your outdoor unit. Remove leaves, dirt, and other debris to ensure optimal airflow and prevent clogs.
Don’ts:
- Don’t ignore strange noises or odors. Unusual sounds or smells could indicate problems that need immediate attention.
- Don’t forget to inspect vents and registers. Ensure they are clean and unobstructed for even heating throughout your home.
- Don’t skip sealing leaks. Properly sealed windows and doors reduce drafts, allowing your HVAC system to operate more efficiently.
- Don’t attempt complex repairs yourself. DIY repairs can cause further damage. Rely on a skilled HVAC technician to address major issues.
