As fall arrives in West Chester, the days grow cooler and your heating system begins to play a vital role in keeping your home comfortable. Preparing your system now ensures reliable performance, energy efficiency, and a cozy environment as temperatures drop.
At Aire Serv of West Chester, we help homeowners take proactive steps to keep heating systems running smoothly throughout the season.
1. Schedule a Professional Heating Tune-Up
A seasonal inspection identifies minor issues before they become costly repairs.
Tip: Have a technician check your furnace, heat pump, or other heating components, including filters, fans, and electrical connections.
2. Replace Air Filters
Dirty filters restrict airflow, reduce efficiency, and can negatively impact indoor air quality.
Tip: Replace filters every 30–60 days, and consider high-efficiency options for cleaner air.
3. Inspect Thermostat Settings
Check that your thermostat is functioning correctly and maintaining the desired temperatures.
Tip: Upgrade to a programmable or smart thermostat to save energy and ensure comfort during busy fall schedules.
4. Clear Vents and Registers
Blocked vents restrict airflow and reduce system efficiency.
Tip: Make sure all vents and registers are clear of furniture, rugs, and debris to allow proper circulation.
5. Test the System Before the First Cold Snap
Turn on your heating system for a short test run to ensure it operates properly and heats your home evenly.
Tip: Listen for unusual noises, check for odors, and monitor for uneven airflow.
Extra Fall Preparation Tips
- Seal drafty windows and doors to reduce heat loss.
- Keep your outdoor HVAC unit (if you have a heat pump) free of leaves and debris.
- Monitor your energy bills for sudden increases that could indicate inefficiency.
