As the leaves change and temperatures drop here in Texas, it’s the perfect time to prepare your HVAC systems for the colder months ahead. Proper maintenance not only ensures your system runs efficiently but also helps prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Here’s a checklist to get your HVAC system ready for fall.
1. Change or Clean Air Filters
One of the simplest yet most effective steps is to check your air filters. Clogged filters restrict airflow and make your system work harder, leading to higher energy bills and potential breakdowns.
2. Inspect the Heating System
If you have a furnace or heat pump, now is the time to inspect it. Look for signs of wear or damage. It’s advisable to schedule an inspection with BCS Service Pros to ensure everything is functioning properly.
3. Check Thermostat Settings
With the temperature dropping, make sure your thermostat is set correctly. If your tenants have programmable thermostats, consider setting a schedule to optimize comfort and energy savings.
4. Clean the Outdoor Unit
If you have an outdoor unit, clear away leaves, dirt, and debris to ensure proper airflow. Make sure nothing obstructs the unit, as this can hinder its efficiency and longevity.
5. Schedule Professional Maintenance
While you can do many tasks yourself, scheduling a professional HVAC maintenance check is crucial. BCS Service Pro Technicians can perform thorough inspections and tune-ups, ensuring your system is in top shape for the cold months ahead.
Conclusion
Fall is the ideal time to give your HVAC system some TLC. By following this maintenance checklist, you can enhance efficiency, prolong the life of your equipment, and ensure a cozy home all winter long.
