End-of-Season AC Maintenance: Tips to Avoid Winter Surprises

Now that the temperatures are cooler outside, you may notice your HVAC system isn’t running as often as it was during the heat of the summer. There’s no better time than now to perform end-of-season HVAC preventative maintenance to ensure your system is in the best shape possible for the winter. Here are some valuable tips to consider and why you won’t regret doing them.

Inspect Air Ducts

Many homeowners neglect inspecting their HVAC air ducts because they are out of sight. Air duct damage can present when your home doesn’t cool properly and can be caused by heavy objects creating pressure on them, mold, debris, and more. When you schedule residential HVAC maintenance services, your air ducts will be inspected thoroughly so your system will run efficiently and prevent future breakdowns.

Take Care Of Any Strange Noises

Pay attention to your HVAC system and call a professional if you notice any unusual noises it’s making. These sounds may include buzzing, humming, hissing, or anything else out of the norm. Not only could these be causing your HVAC system to run inefficiently, but a major breakdown could be coming soon. Have a residential HVAC maintenance professional take a look to prevent unexpected issues and ensure system efficiency.

Look Out For Short Cycling

Short cycling occurs when your HVAC system turns off shortly after turning on and before it reaches the desired temperature on the thermostat. This cycle is indicative of a serious problem and can add significant wear and tear to your system. Short cycling could be caused by electrical problems, frozen evaporator coils, low refrigerant, or even a clogged air filter. Don’t delay in reaching out to a residential HVAC maintenance professional if you notice short cycling with your unit.
