It’s steadily getting colder outside, and the transition to cooler weather can be more significant than you think… temperatures drop, leaves change color, and air pollutants increase. Unfortunately, one thing that might go unnoticed is your home comfort system. There’s a lot to do when addressing your HVAC needs in cooling temperatures, but thankfully we’re going to cover all of it and help you take care of it.
To live comfortably and have no issues with changing seasons, you must take care of your unit. Here are some simple ways to prepare your heating system for the pending colder weather.
Schedule Your Annual Maintenance
Regardless of your type of heating system, it is important that you schedule an annual maintenance visit from one of our experienced TMS technicians. This always helps to boost your unit’s efficiency and prepare for cold weather. One of our professional HVAC techs can optimize your unit for maximum output and ensure your system is running safely.
Replace Your Filter
Once a season changes, change your filter. It clears up your HVAC, your ductwork, and your home, while also preparing your system for seasonal transitions. It only takes a minute or so to do and increases your system’s productivity. The convenience and overall benefits are enough to prove to anyone that clean filters are a must inside any home! You can easily order your filters here and make this task even simpler!
Purchase An Upgrade
If there is a time of the year to take a day without heating or cooling, it’s during the fall. Temperatures are mild; not too hot and not too cold. It’s simply perfect weather to have your HVAC replaced. Imagine replacing an A/C during the dead heat of summer or a furnace in the frigid cold of the winter. It makes no sense to put you and your family through that kind of discomfort, and by doing it now, you avoid peak season and having to wait longer to get your new system installed.
If your HVAC system is broken, inefficient, or old and needs replacing, now is the time to act before it gets too cold… which is sooner than you think!
Start Warming Up Your Heating System
Your home comfort system benefits from regular use; it keeps the motor hot and the system loose. That same principle applies to cars, appliances, and even the human body. Idleness for anyone or anything is never good, so, after your HVAC has sat unused such a long time, it may take a little while to work as it should. If you haven’t turned the heat on yet, it’s important that you start running your heating system to get it warmed up and primed for use when the time comes… which looks like it could be the end of this week with the forecasted temperatures in the 30s!
If you would like to schedule a maintenance appointment with one of our professional HVAC technicians or a sales consultation with one of our Comfort Advisors, give us a call at 860-314-1518 or 860-421-3310. At the end of the day, we’re here to make sure you, your home, and your family are safe and comfortable. Call us today and we’ll take care of everything.
