With 24/7 emergency services, we take pride in keeping your home comfortable year-round. Follow this checklist to ensure your HVAC system is ready for fall.
Why Fall HVAC Prep Matters
Fall is the perfect time to maintain your HVAC system before winter’s chill sets in. A well-prepared system runs efficiently, saving you money and preventing unexpected breakdowns. Our team at Mr. Air Repair, driven by our family-serving-family philosophy, recommends proactive maintenance to avoid system burnout when temperatures drop below freezing.
Change or Clean Air Filters
Dirty air filters reduce efficiency and circulate dust, impacting indoor air quality. Check your filters monthly and replace or clean them as needed. For reusable filters, rinse with warm, soapy water and let dry. For disposable ones, swap them out every 1-3 months. This simple step, backed by our expertise, keeps your system running smoothly and your home comfortable.
Inspect and Clear Outdoor Units
Leaves and debris can clog your outdoor HVAC unit during the fall. Ensure there’s at least 3 feet of clearance around the unit by removing debris like twigs or grass. Our knowledgeable staff suggests checking for signs of wear, such as rust or loose parts, and scheduling a professional inspection to address potential issues early.
Schedule a Professional Tune-Up
A professional tune-up is key to fall prep. At Mr. Air Repair, our skilled technicians, available 24/7 for emergencies, inspect critical components like thermostats, electrical connections, and refrigerant levels. With over a decade of experience, we ensure your system is optimized for efficiency, preventing costly repairs and extending its lifespan.
Test Your Heating System
Before cooler weather hits, test your heating system to confirm it’s working properly. Set your thermostat to heat mode and listen for unusual noises or check for weak airflow. If issues arise, our friendly team is ready to diagnose and fix problems promptly, ensuring your home stays cozy.
Seal Ducts and Insulate
Leaky ducts and poor insulation can waste energy. Inspect visible ductwork for gaps and ensure your home is well-insulated to retain heat. These steps improve efficiency and comfort, aligning with our commitment to quality service.
