5 Ways to Make Sure Your Air Conditioner is Ready for Fall

October 24, 2016

There are probably some things you do to get yourself prepped for fall in Savage, like hang up your long sleeved shirts and think through your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are a couple things you may forget about while doing your fall prep – like your air conditioner. We’re about to say see you later to warm weather and we’re leaping into cooler months. Along with your routine air conditioner service from Gopher Heating and Air Conditioning, we have a few tips that may help keep you comfortable and get your air conditioner prepped for the change in season.

  1. Check and Swap Out Your Air Filter
    This is basic advice for every season in Savage. Before you completely stop using your air conditioner, go swap out your filter from filthy to clean. A dirty filter means your air conditioner has to run harder to keep you comfortable which may negatively influence your comfort and result in higher bills.
  2. Unblock Vents and Registers
    As you’ve moved furniture or brought more into the house, ensure you haven’t blocked any of your vents. A blocked vent could drive up your utility expenses.
  3. Schedule Annual Air Conditioner Service
    Fall is the perfect time in Savage to get your air conditioner looked at by one of our professional technicians. We will do a thorough inspection of your unit and be sure it will be in good working order for the coming cooler months in Savage. Annual air conditioner service can help you get the most out of your air conditioner’s performance, and may also play a role in the life of your system. Not to mention that a large percentage of the emergency calls we get over these next few months are due to lack of maintenance.

We want you to enjoy every aspect of the season in comfort. If you have any questions for us about getting your home ready for fall or need to set up your annual air conditioner service give the professionals at Gopher Heating and Air Conditioning a call at 952-373-0377.
