Fall HVAC Maintenance

As the saying goes, “Time and tide wait for no one.” Whether you’re prepared or not, the summer months and warmer weather are gone, moving aside for fall and cooler temps. That means here in  you need to think about preparing your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for fall maintenance.

Maintaining your heating and cooling equipment ensures it’ll run smoothly the way it should when you need it. Investing your time and money in these seasonal maintenance tasks goes a long way to protect both your Delaware home and your HVAC investment, including your wallet. Well-running systems are more energy efficient, so they end up costing you less to run all season long.

If you haven’t scheduled an annual heating tune-up yet, it’s a good idea to get it done before the chill sets in.

• Vacuum your vents to keep them clear of dust, avoiding extra filter buildup or decreased indoor air quality (IAQ).

Things to ask your technician to do:

• Perform a professional preventive maintenance on the units with the proper instruments to make sure that everything is in tip top condition.
• Clean and check your heating system, including  all the connections, controls, sensors, drains, ignitor, ducts, pipes, burners, valves, motors and thermostat(s). and instruct you on anything you could do between your service visits.
