Fall Furnace and HVAC Maintenance

fall HVAC maintenance, Shakley Mechanical in Ashland Ohio

The transition to fall is one of our favorites. Cooler days mean a lot of homes open their windows to enjoy the fresh air giving the perfect opportunity to do some maintenance on your homes air conditioner after the harsh summer months, and furnace before the temperatures drop. Some things should be handled by the pros of Shakley, but here’s a few of our best do it yourself tips.

  1. Clean Around Your Outdoor Units – Making sure there is a clear space of 2-3 feet around them is key for their use. Be sure to clear off any debris like leaves and ensure there is drain ability for snow and ice.

  1. Air Filters – Replace your air filters with high efficiency pleated filters that are far more effective when it comes to filtering out dust, pollen, mold, dander, and any other nasty particles.

  1. Humidifier Filters – While changing air filters, it is a good habit to change out your humidifier filter to be sure it is putting clean moisture into your home.

  1. Turn On the Furnace – It is best to turn your furnace on before you really need it. This ensures you aren’t facing a frigid night with no heat. Repairs while temperatures are bearable without home heat are much easier to deal with.

  1. Check for Leaks – Hot water heaters can be a quiet leak, while your checking things it can’t hurt to ensure all is well there, too. Better to catch issues early than once they make themselves well known.

  1. Air Conditioner – If you noticed any worrisome behavior during summer, have it taken care of in the months you aren’t using it. This way you know you’ll have top shape cooling once summer rolls back around.

Regardless of issues or not, doing these tasks is important. A few hours of simple changes and checks can put you ahead of the game when it comes to your heating and cooling systems.
