Summer’s heat is winding down here in northern New Hampshire, and it’s the perfect time to get your HVAC system ready for chillier weather.

Here are some essential NH fall prep HVAC maintenance tips to keep your system running smoothly: 

Replace or Clean Air Filters: 

Check your air filters and replace or clean them if they’re clogged. Clean filters help maintain good airflow and improve efficiency.

Inspect the Thermostat: 

Make sure your thermostat is functioning correctly and consider switching to a programmable thermostat to optimize heating schedules and save on energy costs.

Check and Clean Ductwork: 

Inspect your ductwork for any leaks or obstructions and have it cleaned if necessary to ensure efficient airflow and indoor air quality.

Examine the HVAC System: 

Inspect the system for any visible signs of wear or damage. Look for leaks, rust, or corrosion that may need professional attention.

Test the Heating System: 

Before the cold weather hits, test your heating system to ensure it’s working properly. Run the system and listen for any unusual noises.

Clear the Area Around the Outdoor Unit: 

Remove any debris, leaves, or vegetation around your outdoor HVAC unit to ensure proper airflow and prevent damage.

Check Insulation and Sealing: 

Inspect and improve insulation around your HVAC system and ensure windows and doors are properly sealed to maintain efficiency and comfort.

Schedule a Professional Tune-Up: 

Consider scheduling a professional HVAC tune-up to have a technician thoroughly inspect and service your system, addressing any potential issues before they become problems.

Inspect Carbon Monoxide Detectors: 

Ensure your carbon monoxide detectors are functioning and have fresh batteries, especially if you use a gas furnace.

Review Energy Efficiency: 

Evaluate your system’s energy efficiency and consider upgrades or improvements to reduce energy consumption and costs.
