2. Replace or Clean Air Filters

Dirty air filters can restrict airflow, reduce efficiency, and increase energy consumption. Check your air filters regularly and replace them as needed. A clean air filter can also improve indoor air quality by removing allergens and pollutants!

3. Seal Up Air Leaks

Air leaks around doors, windows, and ductwork can allow warm air to escape and cold air to enter your home. Seal up any air leaks to improve energy efficiency and reduce heating costs.

4. Prepare for Winter Weather

Take steps to prepare your HVAC system for winter weather. This may include insulating exposed pipes, clearing away any debris from outdoor units, and ensuring your thermostat is set correctly. A well-prepared system is less likely to experience problems during the colder months.

5. Consider a Preventive Maintenance Plan

A preventive maintenance plan can help you avoid unexpected HVAC breakdowns and keep your system running smoothly throughout the year. At Palisades Fuel, we have Heating Contracts take care of boiler maintenance, cost savings, and priority service.
