One does not experience the same kind of fall here as in much of the country. The calendar may read autumn but our days remain warm, so the cooling system is hard put to take a respite. It is an ideal season to tend to your equipment before winter makes its demands.
The Case for Fall Maintenance in the Panhandle
An HVAC system has little idle time in our climate month in and month out. Unseen problems have a way of escalating. Mild weather in the fall presents an opportunity to put a stop to them. Some homeowners will not give maintenance a thought until they are without heat on a cold morning, which is a pity. A measure of preparation now spares you trouble down the road.
A Few Things to Do for Your HVAC This Fall
To see your system in good order there are a number of checks you can make:
- Put in a new air filter; a clogged one will drive up your energy costs
- Make sure the outdoor unit is free of grass, leaves and the like for unimpeded airflow
- Adjust the thermostat for the cooler part of the day
- See that no furniture or drapes are in the way of your vents and registers
- Pay attention to any odd sounds on start up or shut down
- Put your hand to the vent to be sure it is doing its job of heating and cooling
Such measures add to the longevity of your equipment and efficiency. Yet there are matters for a pro.

Indoor Air Quality Should Not Be Overlooked

Be Prepared for the Heating Season
Mild winters or not, there are nights you will want the heat to be dependable. Why wait for the first cold spell and the attendant discomfort and long waits for a repair? Test the system while you can.
