At Aire Serv of Southwest Connecticut, we guide homeowners through essential fall AC preparation to protect comfort, energy efficiency, and overall system health. Here’s what you should do before the cooler months arrive.
Clean and Replace Filters
Air filters trap dust, pollen, and debris, keeping your system clean and maintaining airflow. Before fall, inspect and replace filters if necessary. This ensures your AC is ready for any unseasonably warm days and prevents strain on your system.
Inspect the Outdoor Unit
Remove leaves, dirt, and debris from around your outdoor condenser unit. Check for damage to fins and coils, and ensure the area is clear for proper airflow. A clean unit performs more efficiently and reduces the risk of system issues.
Check Thermostat Settings
Review your thermostat schedule and settings as you transition to fall. Consider programming slightly higher temperatures when the AC isn’t needed, which can save energy while maintaining comfort. Smart thermostats can simplify this process.
Schedule Professional Maintenance
Fall is a great time for a professional AC checkup. Aire Serv of Southwest Connecticut technicians inspect components, check refrigerant levels, and ensure the system is ready for any late-season cooling. Preventative maintenance can catch minor issues before they escalate.
Seal Ducts and Inspect Insulation
Leaky ducts or poorly insulated areas can reduce efficiency and make your AC work harder. Inspect visible ducts and insulation, and consider having a professional assess hidden areas. Proper airflow helps maintain comfort and lowers energy bills.
