🍁 How to Get Your HVAC System Texas-Ready for Fall

Y’all know Texas weather doesn’t play by the rules. One minute it’s hotter than a jalapeño, the next, a cold front rolls in from the north. But ready or not, fall is on its way—and that means it’s time to get your HVAC system prepped for the cooler months ahead.

Whether you're in College Station, Dallas, or anywhere in Texas, BCS Service Pros has your back with a simple checklist to keep your multi-family property or apartment building comfortable, energy-efficient, and running smoothly all season long.

✅ 1. Swap Out Your Air Filters

After a long, dusty Texas summer, your air filters are probably begging for a change. Clogged filters can restrict airflow and make your system work harder—raising your utility bills and lowering your indoor air quality.

🔧 2. Book a Fall HVAC Tune-Up

Fall is the perfect time to show your system some love before the cold creeps in. Our certified techs at BCS Service Pros will:

• Inspect and test your heating system

• Check your thermostat calibration

• Clean components and remove dust buildup

• Test for safety issues like carbon monoxide leaks

🌡 3. Test the Thermostat Before It’s Cold

Don’t wait until a cold snap hits to find out your heater’s on strike. Turn your thermostat to heat mode and run it for a few minutes. It should respond quickly and blow warm air without any strange smells or sounds.

🍂 4. Clear Leaves & Debris from Your Outdoor Unit

The fall breeze is nice, but it tends to drop leaves and twigs around your outdoor AC units. Clear away debris to make sure nothing blocks airflow or clogs up your system.

💨 5. Seal Air Leaks & Check Your Ductwork

A lot of Texas properties lose warm air through poorly sealed doors, windows, and ductwork. Make fall the season you tackle those energy leaks:

• Add weatherstripping

• Seal windows with caulk

• Have your ductwork inspected and sealed if needed

⚙️ 6. Think About an HVAC Upgrade (If It’s Time)

If your property’s systems are over 10–15 years old, or if they struggled through this summer’s heat, now’s a great time to talk about an upgrade. Fall is the off-season, so you may get better pricing and faster installation.

🏠 Stay Cozy, Texas-Style

At BCS Service Pros, we believe fall should be about football games, chili cook-offs, and cooler evenings—not HVAC emergencies. Taking care of your systems now means peace of mind later—no matter what the Texas skies decide to throw your way.
