Once the summer heat begins to fade in September and the crisp air of autumn approaches, it will be time to consider transitioning your HVAC system from cooling to heating mode. A few simple steps can ensure a smooth transition, optimal performance, and energy savings throughout the fall and winter months. Here’s your end-of-summer HVAC checklist from Edwards Royal Comfort:
Prepping Your HVAC for Fall
By following these simple steps, you can prepare your HVAC system for the changing seasons and enjoy a comfortable, energy-efficient home all year round.
Schedule a Professional Inspection:
The best way to ensure your HVAC system is ready for fall is to have a professional technician from Edwards Royal Comfort perform a thorough inspection. We’ll check for any wear and tear, clean and adjust components, and identify potential issues before they become major problems.
Replace or Clean Air Filters:
Dirty air filters restrict airflow and reduce your HVAC system’s efficiency. Replace or clean your filters to ensure optimal performance and improve indoor air quality.
Clear Debris Around Outdoor Unit:
Remove any leaves, grass clippings, or other debris that may have accumulated around your outdoor unit during the summer. This will help prevent airflow restrictions and ensure proper ventilation.
Check and Seal Ductwork:
Inspect your ductwork for any leaks or gaps. Sealing these leaks can improve energy efficiency and prevent heated or cooled air from escaping.
Test Your Thermostat:
Ensure your thermostat is functioning properly and accurately reflects the temperature in your home. Consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat for enhanced control and energy savings.
Consider a Humidifier:
Adding a humidifier to your HVAC system can improve comfort and reduce static electricity as the air gets drier in the fall.
Don’t Forget About Ventilation:
Proper ventilation is essential for maintaining good indoor air quality. Make sure your vents are open and unobstructed.
