Winter HVAC Prep: Steps to Keep Your System Running Smoothly All Season
October 31, 2024
Winter is on its way and your HVAC needs your attention! At Davis HVAC Experts, we want to help you stay warm and energy-efficient all winter long. Prepping your HVAC system for the colder months is key to avoiding heat loss in the winter. Here’s a quick guide to preparing your HVAC system for the winter:
Schedule a Professional Inspection: Have one of our experts inspect your furnace or heat pump to ensure it’s running well and make sure your ducts are clear. Regular maintenance can increase the lifetime of your unit and catch issues before they become costly problems.
Replace Air Filters: Clean air filters improve air quality and help your HVAC system run more efficiently. Replace them every 1-3 months, especially during heavy usage periods like winter.
Seal Air Leaks: Check around windows, doors, and ducts for drafts. Sealing these leaks can help keep warm air inside and lower your energy bills.
Check Your Thermostat: If you don’t already have a programmable or smart thermostat, now is the time to upgrade! Smart thermostats can lower temperatures when you’re not home to save energy and reduce heating costs.
Clean Around the Outdoor Unit: Clear away leaves, snow, and debris around your outdoor units to ensure proper airflow.
