Getting Your HVAC Ready for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is often when families and loved ones come together to celebrate and give thanks. However, this becomes much more challenging when your HVAC system is working poorly or not functioning. With the temperatures dropping and the company planning to visit, now is the best time to check your HVAC system for any problems and have them repaired immediately.

Check Your Air Filters

You may use your HVAC system more often than usual, especially since the weather changes. However, the more you use your heating, the more dust accumulates in your filters. Be sure you replace them approximately every three months so your system doesn’t risk overworking itself.

Listen for Unusual Sounds

If your HVAC system makes strange noises, you shouldn’t ignore it or think there’s no problem. In actuality, there could be something loose or damaged, which can affect your system’s overall performance. Pay attention to how your system sounds, and call an HVAC technician immediately if you notice something.

Check Your Thermostat

You don’t want your guests to sit in the cold when enjoying their Thanksgiving meal, so you may want to ensure your thermostat is working efficiently. If your heater works efficiently, this doesn’t mean your thermostat necessarily is. When functioning poorly, your thermostat could cause your HVAC system to overwork itself. Resolving this issue could require either a simple battery change or the help of a qualified technician.
