A Comprehensive Checklist for Seasonal HVAC System Preparation
Your HVAC system doesn’t have to be unpredictable like seasons. To operate correctly, your HVAC system needs seasonal modifications, just like you wouldn’t wear a winter coat in July. In hot weather or cold, this detailed checklist will help you maintain your system and lower your energy expenditures.
Check and Replace Air Filters
Consider your HVAC filter your system's lungs. They reduce airflow when clogged, making the system work harder and waste energy. Air filters should be replaced every 1-3 months. This easy action boosts system efficiency and interior air quality, especially as seasons change. Imagine a dust-free wind in your home!
Clean Outdoor Unit
Your outside condenser gets leaves, twigs, dirt, and even tennis balls. All that buildup reduces airflow and system efficiency. Remove debris and gently clean the device at the start of each season. Modern Tech Heating and Cooling should be contacted for unique or difficult debris. Our experts will ensure safety and functionality!
Check thermostat's settings
Setting the proper temperature is about efficiency and comfort. Make your thermostat warmer in winter and colder in summer. If you don't have one, a programmed thermostat can regulate the temperature automatically when you're away, saving energy and money. This simple update could save a lot!
Check Ductwork for Leaks
Leaky ducts are like lost money. They let air escape, making your system work harder and raising bills. Check ductwork for holes, gaps, and wear. For a comprehensive inspection and repair, call Modern Tech's professionals. DIYers can seal them with high-quality duct tape. We'll help you seal all conditioned air.
Try Different Heating and Cooling Modes
Test before committing to a season. Allow your HVAC system to run briefly to test its operation. Strange noises or smells may indicate a professional tune-up. A quick test now can avoid unpleasant shocks!

HVAC systems are complex, therefore DIY checks are limited. Modern Tech Heating and Cooling gives your system a thorough tune-up to maximize performance.
