Must-Do HVAC Maintenance Tasks in the Fall

Your HVAC system will be working overtime during the winter months, so it’s important to prepare it for the coming winter this fall. In this post, one of the leading HVAC installation companies, Cafco Services, shares the HVAC maintenance tasks you should do in the fall to prepare for winter.

Check your unit’s sound. Continue operating your unit normally. While it’s running, listen for any odd sounds coming from your heating and cooling unit. If you hear banging, rattling or clanging, then you should have your HVAC unit checked for any abnormalities. There may be loose components inside, or it may be infested with rodents or critters.

Look for signs of moisture. Your HVAC repair expert strongly recommends checking your windows for signs of moisture buildup. It’s also a good idea to check your vent pipe for rust or dirt accumulation. These are a couple of the telltale signs of improper operation.

Check the room’s temperature. Check the temperature on the thermostat while the unit is on to see if your rooms are reaching the desired temperature.

Swap the filter. You should change your air filter every three months. Keep in mind that using a dirty air filter will reduce your home’s energy efficiency.

Turn it off. Shut off power to the unit before performing any preventive maintenance tasks. Wait for the blower to stop.

If at any time you notice unusual noises, excessive moisture or other signs of a malfunctioning unit, be sure to contact your local HVAC technician for assistance. They’ll follow the necessary procedures to ensure that your unit performs properly.
