While the seasons are transitioning from Summer to Autumn, it’s essential to help prepare your home (and HVAC system) for the colder season ahead, and the increased energy expenditure associated with heating system usage. In this blog entry, the Denver air duct cleaning and Denver furnace filter cleaning service team here at Air Improvement Denver will detail some important ways you can help prepare your HVAC system for the Autumn / Fall season.
Changing Air Filter
It’s essential to change your air filter to help prepare your HVAC system for Autumn. When air filters are dirty, it drastically lowers your HVAC system efficiency. This causes very high energy bills and lowers the air quality in your property. We recommend changing your air filter every 1-3 months depending on how much you use it.
Thermostat Inspection
Adjust your thermostat to the proper temperature when the weather begins to cool. Adjust your thermostat to a comfortable temperature that’s not too drastically warm to help save on energy bills
HVAC System Maintenance Scheduling
Contact a professional Denver HVAC maintenance team to inspect your ductwork. Air Improvement Denver will inspect your HVAC system for any signs of wear, clean all components, and provide all necessary repairs or adjustments before potential issues worsen and become more expensive to fix.
Cleaning Outdoor Leaves / Debris
We recommend inserting your outdoor HVAC unit, and all connected vents. Remove all debris that might have accumulated around it like leaves, sticks, or any other matter. This debris can block airflow and reduce your vent system’s efficiency. Remove all outdoor debris. We recommend trimming plants or bushes located within a few feet of the HVAC unit.
HVAC System Upgrading
We recommend upgrading HVAC systems that are over a decade old, that frequently need repairs, or seem to never work efficiently despite cleaning. Upgrading to a new, more efficient air duct system can help you save a ton of money on your energy bill, reduce your energy expenditure, lower your carbon footprint, lower the risk of respiratory health issues, and save you a great deal of money on your energy bill.
