5 Ways to Prepare Your HVAC System for the Fall

5 Ways to Prepare Your HVAC System for the Fall

As the weather cools down and the days get shorter, you’ll feel the urge to switch on your furnace. After all, your heater is the device you rely on to keep your home warm and comfortable all winter long. To make sure your furnace is ready to handle the cold weather, there are a few steps you should take to prepare your heating system.

Change the Air Filter

Inside your HVAC system is an air filter that pulls dirt and debris from the air. Over time, the filter gets clogged and needs to be replaced. If it’s not replaced, your indoor air quality worsens and your heater may even run into mechanical issues.

Homeowners often take air filter replacement into their own hands, but we’re more than happy to do it for you as well. We’ll make sure you get the right size and right quality air filter for your furnace.

Inspect Air Ducts

Air ducts are a network of vents and pipes that carry heated air through your home. Since air ducts are built in segments, they sometimes get loose and leaky where the different pieces meet up. This means warm air leaks out around the ducts instead of arriving in your home’s living spaces.

Air leaks mean your furnace has to work harder to keep your home comfortable. Leaks also lead to higher monthly energy bills. That’s why Command Service Center can inspect and patch up your ducts to get them ready for fall.
