Preparing Your HVAC System for a Seamless Transition from Summer to Fall

Absolute HVAC is here to help you smoothly transition from air conditioning to heating while maintaining your system's efficiency. In this blog post, we'll share some valuable tips to prepare your HVAC system for the change in seasons.

1. Schedule a Maintenance Checkup:

Before the chill sets in, consider scheduling a professional maintenance checkup with Absolute HVAC. Our team of experts will ensure your heating system is in prime condition, ready to keep you warm throughout the fall and winter months. We'll also check for any wear and tear from the summer's workload on your air conditioning system.

2. Change Your Air Filters:

Proper air filtration is crucial for indoor air quality and system efficiency. Dirty filters can hinder airflow and reduce your HVAC system's effectiveness. Be sure to change your air filters regularly to maintain clean, healthy air and optimal performance.

3. Adjust Your Thermostat:

Now is the time to recalibrate your thermostat settings. Consider setting your thermostat a few degrees lower to account for the cooler temperatures. If you have a programmable thermostat, take advantage of its features to create heating schedules that align with your daily routine.

4. Check for Drafts:

Inspect your home for any drafts around windows and doors. Proper insulation is key to keeping your heating bills in check during the fall and winter. Addressing drafts will help maintain a comfortable indoor environment while minimizing energy waste.

5. Clean and Seal Air Ducts:

Having clean and well-sealed air ducts is essential for efficient heating. Our professionals can clean and seal your ducts, ensuring that heated air reaches all corners of your home without escaping through leaks or blockages.

6. Consider an HVAC Upgrade:

If your HVAC system is getting on in years or has been struggling to keep up with your cooling and heating needs, now might be the perfect time to explore an upgrade. Advances in technology have led to more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly options that can save you money in the long run.
