HVAC Tips for Fall
Fall is here! As the leaves change and temperatures drop, it is time to ensure your home is ready for the harsh seasons that lie ahead. It’s time to make sure your HVAC system is ready for fall and winter. Regular HVAC maintenance can extend the life of your furnace and limit the need for costly repairs in the future. Have a warm and welcoming home by following these helpful home comfort tips for fall!
CHECK YOUR FURNACE FILTER
Did you know the number one cause of a furnace fire is a dirty furnace filter? Save yourself from this disaster, and be sure to follow this fool-proof fall HVAC tip and check your furnace filter! Even if you don’t have replacement filters on-hand, it is a good idea to remove a dirty one to prevent a house fire. Do you remember how to change the furnace filter? Take a look at our how-to videos to refresh your memory on how to change your filter. Better yet, take advantage of our filter replacement program to automatically receive a clean filter at your doorstep every 90 days!
SEAL CRACKS & LEAKS
Seal cracks and leaks this fall to prevent uncomfortable drafts from wafting through your home. Caulking and weather-stripping windows and doors can help eliminate energy waste. Plus your HVAC system will not have to work overtime to keep up with the demands of heating a drafty home.
PROGRAM YOUR THERMOSTAT
Nothing makes waking up for work harder than having to get out of your warm, toasty bed. Program your smart thermostat to bump up the heat a half hour before you wake up in the morning. Just set it and forget it. Our thermostats allow you to set temperatures up to four different times per day. If for some reason you find that your thermostat seems unresponsive, then there may be an issue with the thermostat. Leave it to the experts to confirm and submit an online request here.
CLEAR DEBRIS & WINTERIZE
Have you checked on your outdoor units recently? Summer debris may have found its way near your HVAC equipment, limiting its ability to operate at full capacity. Make sure to clear away any unwanted cotton, pollen, or leaves that may be blocking your unit. Furthermore, if you do not plan on using your air conditioner this winter, it may be a good time to cover it in order to protect it from the elements.
BI-ANNUAL HVAC MAINTENANCE
Bi-annual inspections of your HVAC system ensure everything runs smoothly all season long. We recommend homeowners schedule an HVAC system inspection every fall to prepare your home for the demands of winter. You can schedule your annual maintenance inspection online or by signing up for one of our Guardian Maintenance Plans.
