Fall HVAC Tips

Fall HVAC Tips

You need to ensure your HVAC system is running well during the fall. If you would want more comfort during the long cold days, your system should be in good working condition. Are you still in doubt whether you need fall HVAC maintenance services? There are numerous benefits. 

First, it is a way of keeping things clean and clear. Note that a lot of dirt may have accumulated in your equipment during the summer. Fall offers an opportunity to deal with this mess by getting rid of the dust and any other debris. In some cases, the nearby bushes may grow, and the leaves may get stuck in the unit’s surface, which results in reduced airflow. Through maintenance, you can clear the bushes and ensure the system is working efficiently. Another benefit of regular maintenance during the season is that you will enjoy better indoor air quality. Here are some HVAC services you should consider:

Cleaning the Vents
Dust tends to accumulate in an HVAC system during the summer. Therefore, take the time to check the vents for any debris. This is a crucial maintenance task as even a small amount of dust can significantly reduce your unit's efficiency. If that happens, you will notice increased monthly bills.

Checking the Thermostat
The leaves that fall during autumn may be beautiful, but they can be disastrous for your unit. Check the thermostat to confirm that the equipment is not being overworked. If it shows accurate temperature readings, then it’s in good working condition. If you have a programmable thermostat, check the settings and program it according to the current weather.

Get New Air Filters
The air filters in your unit should be cleaned and replaced regularly. If you skipped this maintenance task, the fall is the ideal time to get back on track. Depending on certain factors within your home, experts recommend replacing your air filters every 30 to 90 days.

Cleaning the Condensation Drain Line
This part of your HVAC system helps to drain moisture away through PVC piping. Ensure the piping is always clear of clogging to prevent water overflow inside your property. If the condensation line is cleared, you will not need to worry about drip pan overflow.

Replace the Entire System
If you seek the above HVAC services in the Greater Toronto Area but still experience problems, you should consider investing in a new system. During the season, the weather will become colder, and your unit will need to work harder to heat your home. Generally, this is a great time to replace your equipment.

FAQ

  • What is a heat pump?

    Heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.

  • Why is there ice building up on the copper pipes?

    There can be many reasons why the refrigerant pipes are freezing up but the most common issue is low refrigerant levels. If your AC unit has ice buildup turn off the unit for at least 4 hours and call us at 416-410-0337

  • What is a mini-split?

    By definition, and simply put, a “Split System” is a heating and air conditioning system which has two main components, the indoor unit and outdoor unit. In short, the indoor unit absorbs heat energy in the cooling mode, and the outdoor unit rejects the very heat absorbed by the indoor unit. And the cycle is repeated until the set temperature is met. Although the indoor and outdoor units are located in physically different, hence “split” locations, they are connected and operate as, one system; continuously circulating refrigerant liquid and vapor by means of interconnecting, dehydrated copper refrigerant lines, commonly referred to as a “Line Set”.
