The summer is almost over, and with fall upon us, you might need to have your heating system on standby to neutralize the weather once the cold kicks in. Here are a few tips to prep your HVAC system for the Fall.
Prep tips
- Air Filters Check
One of the easiest ways to ensure the efficiency of your HVAC system is to check the air filters regularly. Dirty filters can prevent your heating system from working effectively. Dirty filters can also lead to more severe problems. It is better to check them regularly and change the furnace filters to keep the system properly working. This will make the colder months easy to deal with.
- Clearing Outdoor Units
Proper airflow keeps the system in good working condition and increases its performance. To prepare your HVAC system, you need to clear away all the dirt and debris around the unit. You need to ensure that leaves do not make it into the coils or get into the unit. Make sure to remove any garbage or litter around the system. This will ensure proper airflow and optimize the performance of your unit.
- Professional Maintenance Checkup
Scheduling maintenance checkups with an HVAC expert prior to the Fall is another great way to prepare your unit for the Fall. The expert is equipped to check the electrical parts of your unit and other components. Maintenance checkups by experts will help you prevent expensive repairs.
Check for electrical damage such as exposed wires outside and in the visible parts of your unit. This may indicate that a problem exists. Ensure to remove tree looks limbs that could damage your unit. Alternatively, you can contact an electrical repair firm (like Calibre Connect team of electricians or a similar one in your area) that can send professional electricians to do the necessary repairs and adjustments of wires. this in turn can avoid a potential short circuit.

- Stay Alert for Potential Hazards
If you encounter any suspicious bad smell or strange noises around your unit, do not hesitate to confirm the source. If it is your unit, be quick to call an expert.
