Your step-by-step guide to ensure your HVAC system is in peak condition for the cooler fall months.
Preparing your HVAC system for fall is important for several reasons, all of which contribute to maintaining comfort, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in your home. Check out these great tips from AL-DON that can help you prep your HVAC for the fall transition.
- Replace the Air Filters
After heavy summer use, your HVAC filters are likely clogged with dust, dirt, and debris. Replacing or cleaning them improves air quality and helps your system run more efficiently.
- Inspect and Clean Vents
Check all your vents and registers to ensure they are not blocked by furniture or other items. Dust and vacuum the vents to ensure clean airflow.
- Clear the Outdoor Unit
Remove any leaves, branches, or debris that may have gathered around the outdoor condenser unit over the summer. Keeping this area clear ensures the system has proper airflow.
- Test the Thermostat
Make sure your thermostat is functioning correctly. Consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat to help manage heating costs as temperatures fluctuate in the fall.
- Schedule Your Fall Clean & Check
Seasonal professional tune-ups, filter changes, and regular cleaning keep your systems efficient, extend their lifespan, and ensure high indoor air quality. AL-DON Specialists provide expert maintenance and helpful guidance to keep your home comfortable and healthy.
