Fall Maintenance Checklist
As the weather cools down in Georgia, fall is the perfect time to get your home ready for the months ahead. Even though fall season is mild, a little proactive maintenance can go a long way toward preventing costly repairs later. From your HVAC system to your plumbing, here are a few simple fall maintenance tips from A&B Heating, Cooling & Plumbing to help keep your home comfortable and efficient all season long.
1. Schedule a Fall HVAC Tune-Up
Even with mild fall temps, it’s the perfect time to make sure your system is ready for cooler nights. A professional tune-up helps your heater run efficiently, prevents mid-winter breakdowns, and can lower your energy bills.
2. Replace or Clean Air Filters
Fall pollen and summer dust can clog filters fast. Replace or clean your air filter every 1–3 months to improve airflow, keep energy costs down, and extend the life of your system.
3. Check Your Thermostat Settings
As the weather cools, switch your thermostat from cooling to heating mode and test it to make sure it’s working properly. If you’re not already using a programmable or smart thermostat, now’s a great time to upgrade for better comfort and control. Check out our favorites from the blog here!
4. Clear Debris Around Your Outdoor Unit
Leaves and pine straw can pile up around your HVAC unit during fall. Clear at least two feet of space around it so your system can breathe and operate efficiently.
Fall is the perfect time to check these items off your list and make sure your home is ready for whatever winter brings.
