How to Extend the Life of Your HVAC System Before Fall

As summer winds down in Shenandoah, it’s the perfect time to give your HVAC system some extra care before fall. Proper maintenance and small adjustments can extend the life of your equipment, improve efficiency, and prevent costly repairs.

At Aire Serv of Shenandoah, we help homeowners keep their HVAC systems running smoothly year-round. Here’s how to prepare your system for the seasonal transition and get the most out of your investment.

Schedule a Late-Summer Maintenance Check

A professional inspection at the end of summer ensures your system is clean, lubricated, and operating efficiently. Technicians check refrigerant levels, clean coils, inspect electrical connections, and identify minor issues before they turn into expensive repairs.

Replace Air Filters Regularly

Clogged or dirty air filters force your system to work harder, reducing efficiency and increasing wear and tear. Replacing filters every 30–60 days helps maintain airflow, improve indoor air quality, and protect system components.

Clean Ducts and Vents

Dust, debris, and allergens can accumulate in ductwork over the summer. Cleaning ducts and vents improves airflow, prevents blockages, and reduces strain on your system, extending its life.

Check for Leaks and Insulation Issues

Air leaks around windows, doors, and ductwork make your HVAC system work harder to maintain desired temperatures. Sealing leaks and adding insulation ensures efficient operation and reduces stress on equipment.

Optimize Thermostat Settings

Adjust thermostat schedules to reflect changing weather patterns. Programmable or smart thermostats help maintain comfort while minimizing unnecessary system use, reducing wear and energy costs.

Monitor System Performance

Be aware of unusual noises, uneven cooling, or higher energy bills. Addressing these warning signs early prevents more severe damage and prolongs your HVAC system’s lifespan.
