Preparing for Fall:
Your September HVAC Checklist

As the leaves start to fall and the temperature begins to drop, it's important to properly prepare your HVAC system for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. Not only will this help ensure your system performs efficiently, but it can also prevent any unexpected breakdowns when you need it the most.

Let's go through a few tasks that you can add to your September HVAC checklist to keep your home comfortable throughout the tough, colder months.

Change The Filter

One of the simplest tasks you can do for your HVAC system is to change the air filter. During the summer months, your air conditioner was working overtime to keep up with the heat, which means the filter may have picked up a lot of dirt and debris. Start the new season by freshening up the filter to keep the air in your home clean and your system running smoothly.

Adjust Your Thermostat

With the cooler weather approaching, it's likely that you won't need your air conditioner running throughout the day. Adjust your thermostat accordingly to save energy and reduce wear and tear on your system. A smart thermostat such as an ecobee can make this task even easier by allowing you to program your home's temperature no matter where you are and provide you with valuable insight into your energy usage.

Check Your Ductwork

Over time, your ductwork can become clogged with dust and debris, which can negatively impact your system's efficiency. Consider having your ductwork professionally cleaned to remove any blockages and improve the air quality in your home. This can also help prevent any potential health issues that may arise from breathing in dirty air.

Get a Furnace Tune-Up

As the winter months approach, it's important to make sure your furnace is ready to handle the workload. Schedule a professional tune-up with an experienced HVAC technician to ensure your system is running at peak performance. A professional tune-up from Triple Tech will not only improve efficiency but may also uncover any potential issues that could lead to costly repairs in the future.

Consider Upgrading Your System

If your HVAC system is outdated or inefficient, now may be the time to consider upgrading to a more modern, energy-efficient system. Incorporating new technologies such as heat pumps and smart thermostats can help you save money on energy bills while also doing your part for the environment.
