Fall is here and its finally time to give your HVAC system a break. Your air conditioner has been working overtime the last few months with the unbearable heat wave we have experienced this summer. With all this said it is time to consider fall maintenance to ensure your system is working well and ready for whatever winter months we experience this year.
It is always best to have a professional HVAC company have their expert technicians check your system at least twice a year, in the fall and spring times.
Here are some things you can do yourself to help your system work properly.
- Change your filters often, at least every other month they need to be checked and possibly replaced.
- Keep your outside units free of debris with enough open space as possible around them.
- Keep your air registers and ducts free of dust and any debris.
- Use fans as much as possible to give your HVAC system a break.
- Listen for strange noises that may be a warning. Try to locate where they are and what the source of the noise may be. If you can’t locate the source, check the list of common HVAC noises and if it is something you can fix.
With all this said it is still a good idea to consider the semi-annual maintenance program that most quality HVAC system professionals offer. It may save you on some costly repairs down the road.
