How To Prepare Your HVAC System Before Leaving for Vacation

July 7, 2025

Planning a summer vacation? Before you pack your bags, don’t forget to prep your HVAC system. A few simple steps can help you save energy, protect your equipment, and ensure you return to a comfortable home.

1. Adjust Your Thermostat

If you’re leaving in the summer, set your thermostat a few degrees higher (around 75–80°F). This keeps the system from running unnecessarily while still protecting your home from extreme temperatures.


2. Use a Smart Thermostat

Smart thermostats allow you to monitor and adjust your home’s temperature remotely. You can even schedule the system to return to your ideal comfort level before you get home.


3. Change Your Air Filter

A clean filter keeps your system running efficiently while you're away and helps maintain air quality for when you return.


4. Check for Leaks or Blockages

Walk around your vents and outdoor unit to make sure nothing is blocking airflow. Trim bushes or remove debris as needed.


5. Schedule a Maintenance Check

If you’ll be away for an extended period, a quick HVAC inspection can give you peace of mind.
