It’s time to get your HVAC system in good shape as winter approaches so you can keep comfortable all season long. And what’s this? It might be enjoyable to prepare your HVAC system for the winter. Grab some hot cocoa, and let’s get started with the ultimate winter preparation guide.
Step 1: Change Filters
Replace the air filters in your HVAC system first. Although these tiny heroes are excellent at capturing dust and dirt, they can become blocked over time, which can make your system work harder. Install a new filter to keep the air flowing freely and your energy costs under control.
Step 2: Plug Up Those Leaks
It’s time to unleash your DIY superpowers! Look for drafts around windows and doors. Weatherstripping or caulk can be used to seal gaps, preventing the escape of warm air and the entry of cold air. Your house will appreciate it!
Step 3: Get a Maintenance Check
Your HVAC system also needs some TLC. A professional HVAC maintenance check should be scheduled before the winter chill arrives. At Koala Cooling , we have the expertise to guarantee that your system is operating at its best and is prepared to withstand even the coldest nights.
Step 4: Clear the Decks
Ensure that your outdoor equipment is prepared for the winter. To protect it from the outdoors, clear it of any debris like leaves or branches and think about covering it with a protective HVAC cover. Simple maintenance today can avoid more expensive issues later.
Step 5: Insulate, Insulate, Insulate
Remember to take care of your ductwork! Your ducts’ proper insulation can stop heat loss and keep your warm air inside where it belongs. Our professionals can evaluate your insulation needs if you’re unsure.
Step 6: Turn It On!
Check your heating system to make sure it is functioning correctly before the cold snap arrives. On the iciest day of the year, no one wants to find a problem! Give us a shout if you run across any problems. We’ll come to the rescue.
Step 7: Maintain Cleanliness
Last but not least, avoid placing furniture and draperies close to your heating vents and registers. Good airflow ensures the proper distribution of warm air throughout your house.
There you have it, everyone! It’s not difficult to winterize your HVAC system. Call Koala Cooling for a consultation if you require any assistance with these tasks or simply want to make sure your HVAC system is prepared for the next winter. Our goal is to make your winter as comfortable as a bear in its cave.
