Fall traditionally is a time of harvest and preparation for winter. While most families no longer spend the season canning, knitting sweaters, or splitting wood, there still are important ways to prepare the modern home for the colder months ahead, such as inspecting and maintaining its HVAC system.

5 HVAC Maintenance Tips For Fall

1. Freshen The Filter

Your filter should be inspected and changed on a regular schedule throughout the year, so stick to your plan during fall. A dirty filter will impede airflow through your HVAC system and contaminate your air with dust and allergens.

2. Inspect Ducts

Dirty ductwork can impair your HVAC system when you need it most. Inspect your ducts periodically to make sure they are clean and airflow is unobstructed.

3. Clear Airways

Middletown-OH-HVACWhile heavy-duty duct cleaning may require professional equipment, there are do-it-yourself methods that may improve your air quality. Turning your HVAC to “fan only” mode can gently dislodge dust that has accumulated in your ducts, and carefully vacuuming your registers will remove resulting debris. It’s a good idea to do this before installing a new air filter.

4. Check Your Thermostat

The easiest way to make sure your thermostat is accurate is by using a thermometer. If there is a significant discrepancy between the air temperature readings of your thermometer and thermostat, it could be a sign you need furnace repairs.

5. Schedule An HVAC Inspection

Most experts recommend an annual inspection and tuneup for your HVAC system, especially if it’s older. Regular maintenance will keep your system operating efficiently and spot needed furnace repairs before they reach a crisis state. Find a reputable heating and cooling services contractor in your area and schedule an appointment for maintenance.
