Now that we are out of the dog days of summer, it is time to start thinking about the colder weather coming. BCS Service Pros exclusively serves multi-family and apartment owners throughout Texas and wanted to share 8 simple tips for preparing your HVAC systems for winter. This preparation is crucial for efficient operation, prevents issues when temperatures drop and ultimately keeps clients comfortable. Here are 6 tips:
Change the Air Filters: Replace or clean your air filters to ensure proper airflow and efficiency. This should be done every 1-3 months.
Clean the Vents: Dust and debris can block airflow. Vacuum vents and ensure they’re not obstructed by furniture or other objects.
Check Thermostat Settings: Make sure your thermostat is set to a comfortable temperature. Consider upgrading to a programmable thermostat for better control.
Clear Outdoor Units: If you have an outdoor heat pump or condenser, clear away leaves, snow, or ice to ensure proper airflow.
Test the Systems: Run your heating systems for a few hours to make sure it’s working properly before the cold sets in.
Schedule a Professional Inspection: Have a BCS Service Pros Technician check your system for any potential issues, including the furnace, heat pump, and ductwork.
Taking these steps can help ensure your HVAC system runs efficiently and effectively throughout the winter months. Contact us today for a free estimate – we are looking forward to hearing from you!
