Cooler days and nights are here now that fall is upon us. Winter will soon come after a few months, and needless to say, you will have to rely on your HVAC system for heating from there on out. Heating contractors, in fact, advise homeowners to do inspections to ensure it’s in good working condition for better indoor comfort.
Here are some of the things you can do this fall for your HVAC system:
1. Change or Clean Your Air Filters
Choose a day to inspect your filters, preferably on the first or last day of every month. Disposable filters must be replaced with cleaner ones. Reusable ones must be washed according to manufacturer’s directions and allowed to dry completely before inserting them back into the compartment.
2. Insulate the Attic
Proper and sufficient insulation of the attic allows for warm air to stay indoors. Doing so will ensure peak performance of your HVAC system in providing heating. According to energyStar.gov, it is recommended that the insulation must be high enough to block the view of the floor joists.
3. Give It a Test Run
Before cold weather hits, it is a good idea to turn your heating system on to see if it is working properly. Otherwise, you can call your HVAC system maintenance contractor to have it inspected and perform repairs if needed.
4. Replace the System If Necessary
It might be a significant expense, but replacing your old, inefficient HVAC unit with a new one can give you better heating and cooling, as well as energy benefits moving forward. Be sure to ask your HVAC technician about the service life of your current system.
