Preparing Your HVAC for the Cold Season

As the seasons change and temperatures begin to drop, it’s crucial to prepare your HVAC system for the colder months. This article from the top repair & maintenance experts at Acker Heating & Cooling will guide you through the necessary steps to ensure your home stays comfortable during the chilly seasons ahead.

Change Air Filters

Clean air filters are a crucial component of an efficiently working HVAC system. This is especially important once the winter months arrive, as it will be working harder to keep your living spaces comfortable. As early as this fall, make sure to check on your HVAC system’s filters to see if they need cleaning or replacing.

Check for Air Leaks

Go around your home and check for any signs of leaks that may cause unwanted outdoor temperatures to wreak havoc on your indoor climate. In addition to your doors and windows, consider having a pro inspect your ductwork. Air duct sealing helps ensure that warm air coming from your heater is distributed evenly throughout your home and not seeping through gaps or tears in your ducts. By taking advantage of this, you can enjoy a warm, comfortable home without wasting any energy that may cause a significant rise in your energy bills.

Have Your System Inspected

This fall, be sure to schedule a heating system tune-up with a licensed technician. This will help identify any issues that need to be addressed before they become worse. Not only that, but they can perform thorough cleaning of the unit’s interior components, ensuring that everything is working efficiently once you start using it through the fall and winter months. More importantly, a heating system inspection helps prolong the life of your investment.
