Have you put any thought to what will happen on the first cold morning when you put the heat on and it fails to respond? Or when was the last time you had your HVAC system properly inspected in advance of the season? The cooler months are coming, is your home prepared for them?
We at E Dennis Air Conditioning, Heating, Plumbing & Electrical have been putting North West Georgia homeowners’ systems in order for fall and winter for 30 years and more. We are here to be your home service heroes and make sure you have a comfortable fall. Any questions, call (770) 758-0501.
You can never tell what the weather will do in the Atlanta metro one week to the next. It may be like summer today and by tomorrow you will want the heat running through the night. Such unpredictability is hard on an HVAC system. A bit of forethought now will save you from having to deal with it later.
The Importance of Fall Maintenance
After all the work your system has put in over the summer it has to make the changeover to heating mode. That is the moment latent issues tend to surface. Something that made it through July, be it a dirty or worn piece, could well give up in October.
Most people do not give their heat a second glance until the day is truly cold. Then everyone else has the same idea. By making an appointment you avoid being part of the rush in the year’s busiest period.
Some DIY Fall HVAC Tips
A homeowner does not need special tools to do some of these things. They are small measures that put less of a strain on the system and can be good for your energy bill:
- Put in a new air filter; you should be checking it once a month
- Make sure there are no leaves or other debris around the outdoor unit
- Put the thermostat on heat as a test before you have to
- See if any furniture is in the way of your vents and registers
- When the heat comes on for the first time, pay attention to any odd smells or noises
- Drafts around the windows and doors should be sealed in
Then there are matters for a technician. Should you have to contend with short cycling, poor airflow or rooms that are not the same temperature, make a professional call. Our team is on hand 24/7, there is no need to wait for us to open for business.
Is Now the Time for a New System?
An old unit that is having trouble keeping pace might be worth replacing this fall. You will see the difference in your comfort and the cost at the end of the month with a more efficient model. To boot, there are IRA incentives and tax rebates for certain upgrades that can be applied to the cost.
Financing is available from us to ease the burden of a new system. Our technicians will put you in the right direction and tell you what is sensible for your home and finances. Give us a ring at (770) 758-0501.
Maintenance Plans Have Their Value
A membership or maintenance plan is how you pre empt seasonal problems. With regular tune ups we can nip something in the bud before it becomes a costly repair, and the life of the system is extended. An efficiently run unit will not cost you more than it should when the weather changes.
Homeowners from Marietta to Alpharetta and Peachtree City count on our plans for year round comfort. Inquire about them when you get in touch.
