As the seasons shift in Michigan, so do your home comfort needs. Whether you’re cranking up the AC for summer or firing up the furnace for winter, a little preparation goes a long way. At Frost & Kretsch Heating & Cooling, we believe in helping homeowners stay ahead of the weather with smooth HVAC transitions. Here’s your go-to guide for preparing your HVAC system for seasonal changes.
Why Seasonal Prep Matters
Think of your HVAC system like a car—you wouldn’t drive it all year without maintenance, right? Prepping your heating and cooling system ensures peak performance, extends its life, and helps you avoid surprise breakdowns when the weather hits extremes.
Seasonal HVAC Checklist for Homeowners
Here’s a simple and effective checklist to follow before summer or winter sets in:
1. Replace or Clean the Air Filter
Dirty filters block airflow, making your system work harder and less efficiently. Swap out or clean filters at the start of each season.
2. Check the Thermostat Settings
Make sure your thermostat is set to the correct mode—cooling for summer, heating for winter. If you have a programmable or smart thermostat, adjust the schedule based on when you’re home.
3. Inspect Ductwork and Vents
Blocked or leaky ducts can lead to uneven temperatures. Check for dust buildup, clear furniture away from vents, and consider a professional duct cleaning if it’s been a while.
4. Clean Around the Outdoor Unit
For central AC systems, clear away leaves, branches, and dirt from around the condenser. This improves airflow and efficiency.
5. Test the System Early
Don’t wait for a heatwave or cold snap to discover a problem. Run your system before you actually need it to catch any odd smells, noises, or issues.
6. Schedule Professional Maintenance
Even if everything seems okay, a seasonal tune-up can help catch small issues before they become expensive repairs. Our team at Frost & Kretsch Heating & Cooling provides thorough inspections to keep your system running smoothly year-round.
