As temperatures drop in Southwest Connecticut, a properly functioning furnace is essential for maintaining comfort and safety. Fall is the ideal time to prepare your system for the cooler months ahead, preventing costly repairs and ensuring reliable heating.
At Aire Serv of Southwest Connecticut, we help homeowners get their furnaces ready for the season. Here’s what to focus on for efficient, trouble-free heating.
Inspect and Replace Filters
Clean filters are crucial for airflow and efficiency. Clogged filters force the furnace to work harder, increasing energy bills and wear. Replacing or cleaning filters before the first cold night ensures optimal performance.
Check Thermostat Accuracy
A properly calibrated thermostat ensures your home reaches the desired temperature without overworking the furnace. Consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat for more precise control and energy savings.
Test System Operation
Run your furnace before it’s needed. Listen for unusual noises, check airflow, and confirm that heat is consistent throughout your home. Early detection of issues prevents inconvenient breakdowns during chilly nights.
Inspect Ductwork and Vents
Leaky or blocked ducts reduce efficiency and comfort. Inspect visible ducts for gaps or damage, and ensure vents are clear of debris. Professional inspections can identify hidden problems that affect heating performance.
Schedule Professional Maintenance
A licensed HVAC technician can perform a comprehensive furnace inspection, clean critical components, and identify minor issues before they become major problems. Routine maintenance increases reliability and extends system life.
