Fall in West Chester brings cooler mornings, crisp evenings, and the perfect time to optimize your home for comfort and efficiency. Your HVAC system plays a major role in managing energy costs, and a few simple steps can make a big difference.
At Aire Serv of West Chester, we help homeowners combine smart habits with professional maintenance to enjoy a cozy home without overspending on energy bills.
1. Adjust Your Thermostat Strategically
Setting your thermostat a few degrees lower in cooler months can save on heating costs without sacrificing comfort.
Tip: Use a programmable or smart thermostat to schedule temperatures according to your family’s daily routine.
2. Replace Air Filters Regularly
Dirty filters restrict airflow and force your system to work harder, increasing energy use.
Tip: Replace or clean filters every 30–60 days during the heating season.
3. Seal Drafts and Insulate Properly
Windows, doors, and poorly insulated areas can allow warm air to escape, reducing efficiency.
Tip: Use weatherstripping or caulk to seal leaks and maintain a consistent indoor temperature.
4. Maintain Proper Airflow
Ensure vents and registers are unobstructed and that your system circulates air effectively throughout your home.
Tip: Rearrange furniture if necessary and consider professional duct cleaning or balancing for optimal efficiency.
5. Schedule Fall HVAC Maintenance
A professional tune-up ensures your system operates at peak efficiency, reducing energy waste and preventing breakdowns.
Tip: Have a technician inspect components like coils, fans, and refrigerant levels for optimal performance.
Extra Energy-Saving Tips
- Close blinds or curtains during the day to retain warmth.
- Use ceiling fans in reverse mode to push warm air down.
- Limit heat-generating appliance use during peak heating hours.
- Monitor energy bills for unusual spikes and adjust settings accordingly.
