Fall Maintenance

 

Now is the best time to get your HVAC unit ready for winter. It is recommended to contact us so we can inspect the system for you. This way you can ensure the parts are working efficiently and at top performance levels. These can include the filter, ductwork, thermostat, as well as the furnace unit itself.

Replacing the Filter

The filter will need to be inspected regularly to ensure it is clean and clog free of dirt. If you are not sure how often to check the filter, contact us and we can recommend a schedule for you.

Check the Coils

These can becom clogged with debris or coated with moisture and dust if you do not clean it. The will decrease the efficiency of your unit and can even lead to a breakdown. It will be harder to remove the grime by spring, so it is recommended to clean it now.

Clean the Ductwork

If the ductwork is dirty, you could be contaminating your home throughout the winter. If you can see dirt and dust, there will probably more further down the ductwork. If it is clogged with dirt and dust, it will not operate efficiently. Make sure to contact us and we can inspect the ductwork for your home.

Protect the Outdoor unit

It is important to cover any outdoor or rooftop units when they are not in use. This will protect them from the harsh elements. But make sure you do not wrap it completely air-tight. The moisture that is trapped inside the unit will cause rust and corrosion with time.
