As winter approaches, the days are starting to get colder. It is important for homeowners to get ready for the winter by maintaining their HVAC system and having it checked for any problems that might lead to a breakdown during some of the coldest days of the year.
Clean or replace air filters: Homeowners should continue to inspect their air filters at least once a month when using their heating system as a dirty filter can overwork the HVAC system and lower energy efficiency.
Check Controls: When turning on your heater for the first time before winter, you should be able to start, operate, and turn off the system without any issues. If you notice any sounds or smells after turning your heating system on for the first time, you should turn off the system immediately and call a trained HVAC technician to inspect the unit.
Check your outdoor unit: Remove any shrubs, plants, or tree branches that may be in close proximity to the unit. Look inside the unit and remove any fallen leaves, debris or dead animals. Ensure that all components are clean and are able to run without interference.
