As the leaves change color and the temperature drops, it’s time to prepare your HVAC system for the fall season. A well-maintained HVAC system can help you stay comfortable and save money on energy bills. Here are some tips from Gentry Air Conditioning on how to prepare your HVAC system for fall:
Schedule a Tune-Up
A professional HVAC tune-up can help identify and address any potential issues before they become major problems. During a tune-up, technicians will inspect your system, clean components, and make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal performance.
Clean or Replace Air Filters
Dirty air filters can restrict airflow, reduce efficiency, and increase energy consumption. Check your air filters regularly and replace them as needed. A clean air filter can also help improve indoor air quality.
Inspect and Seal Ducts
Leaky ducts can allow conditioned air to escape, making your system work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. Have your ducts inspected and sealed to improve efficiency and reduce energy costs.
Check for Carbon Monoxide Leaks
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly. Ensure your carbon monoxide detectors are working properly and have your HVAC system inspected for leaks.
Consider a Programmable Thermostat
A programmable thermostat can help you save energy by automatically adjusting the temperature based on your schedule. Consider installing a programmable thermostat to optimize your HVAC system’s performance.
By following these tips, you can help ensure that your HVAC system is ready to keep you comfortable throughout the fall and winter seasons.
