Winter is quickly approaching. As you’re getting ready for the holidays, you should make sure the AC and heating system are prepared for the cold season. Autumn is the perfect time to work on HVAC maintenance as you change over from the heat of summer to the chill of winter. Below are three tasks that should be on your to-do list.

A Fall Checklist for the AC & Heating System

1. Change the Filters

The HVAC system has a filter that blocks dirt and debris from damaging the components and getting into the house, where you’ll breathe it in. Simply due to its role, this part gets dirty over time, which will block air from flowing smoothly in and out of the air conditioner or heater and cause it to overwork. To prevent this problem, change the filter once every three months.

2. Schedule a Tuneup

The last thing you want during the winter is to be trapped in a freezing house because the heater broke. Make sure this doesn’t happen by scheduling an appointment with a professional. They’ll replace broken parts, look for early warning signs of issues, and ensure the unit is running efficiently, so you don’t spend too much on bills.

3. Upgrade the Insulation

Even if the system is efficient, you’ll still overspend on utilities and be uncomfortable in the house if you don’t have enough insulation. If you’re aware of any issues, take care of them during the fall, when the temperatures are mild. This will ensure the interior is evenly warm and heat doesn’t escape outside.
