Winterizing Your HVAC System
Is it time to switch your HVAC system from air conditioning to heat?
Do you know the specific steps you should take to ensure your heating and cooling system keeps running in great condition?
The last thing you need during a cold winter is to find out you need to repair your HVAC system. Keep everything running at peak performance by following these steps:
- Remove window units: If you have any window units, you should take them out and store them inside. A common mistake homeowners make is leaving window units installed throughout the winter. They will last longer if you store them until they’re ready to be used again.
- Clean the unit: If you’ve got a unit outside your home, it’s time for a cleaning. Remove any leaves or debris that have gotten trapped inside through the summer and fall.
- Get a cover: A cover for your outdoor unit will keep it protected over the winter. Temporarily, a tarp can be used until you purchase a more secure and permanent cover.
- Change the air filter: Take the time to locate and change the air filter in your home. It should be replaced every 3-4 months, which will prevent it from becoming clogged and placing extra demand on your system.
