Heating and Air Conditioning Tips Mainstay
Just like your dentist never stops reminding you to come in for your regular cleaning, your HVAC system’s first tip to prepare for fall is regular maintenance. Modern Air & Refrigeration has one of Sarasota’s most comprehensive A/C preventive maintenance checklists out there. Check it out and go through it to make sure your system is operating at optimal capacity.
Heater System Readiness
A big surprise to a lot of Florida homeowners comes in the form of the first time they turn on their heater. A significant portion of heater systems barely see any use leading to homeowners resting on their laurels when it comes to heater system maintenance. Most heater components are internal and may require some electrical knowledge therefore we recommend employing some professional help to check your heater system. We advise you do a test run of your heater before you need it. Switch your thermostat from cooling to heating and set the temperature a couple of degrees higher than the current room temperature. You should hear the heat kick in. Let it run for an hour or so to test for more nuanced issues.
Ventilation and Insulation
To round out our fall heating and air conditioning tips guide we would be remiss to not include ventilation and insulation. These two components will not only keep your A/C unit functioning at optimal levels but save you a bucket of money when it comes to your electric bill this winter. Replace your filters, check for air flow blocks on your vents, and check your indoor insulation for leaks.
