As temperatures drop in Newark, it’s time to shift your HVAC focus from cooling to heating. Preparing your system for cooler weather is crucial to keep your home warm, comfortable, and energy-efficient during fall and winter months.
Aire Serv of Newark shares essential steps to get your HVAC system ready for the change in seasons.
1. Schedule a Heating System Inspection
Before the cold sets in, have a licensed technician inspect your furnace or heat pump. They will check for wear and tear, clean burners or coils, and ensure safe operation.
2. Replace or Clean Air Filters
Fresh air filters improve airflow and prevent your system from overworking. Replace filters every 30 to 60 days, or more frequently if you have pets or allergies.
3. Test Your Thermostat
Verify that your thermostat is working properly and replace batteries if needed. Consider upgrading to a programmable thermostat for better temperature control and energy savings.
4. Clear Vents and Registers
Make sure all vents and registers are open and unobstructed to allow warm air to circulate efficiently throughout your home.
5. Seal Air Leaks
Inspect windows, doors, and ductwork for drafts and seal leaks with weatherstripping or caulk. This prevents heat loss and reduces your heating bills.
6. Clean Outdoor Units
If you have a heat pump or HVAC outdoor unit, clear away leaves, debris, and vegetation to ensure proper airflow and operation.
