Fall is just around the corner, and you know what that means: another season of unhinged weather. Get out of bed in the morning shivering, dressing in pants and a sweater, and by lunch you’re sweating and regretting your outfit choice. If you’re switching your HVAC system back and forth between heating and cooling, it’s working overtime trying to keep up with the temperature demands.
While you might be able to handle constantly changing your outfit, the extreme weather whiplash is likely taking a toll on your HVAC. Most systems are designed to run consistently in one mode for months at a time, not to bounce back and forth within the span of a single day. This constant cycling puts immense stress on electrical components, fan motors, and compressors, causing breakdowns from the added strain right when you need it the most.
The best way to protect your equipment and your wallet is to make sure both sides of your system are fully prepared for all seasons. Instead of waiting for something to fail, get your system tuned up now before the extreme weather starts playing ping pong.
A professional technician can check your electrical connections, clean out the dust that accumulated over the summer, and make sure your furnace is actually ready to ignite safely when the real cold hits. By taking care of both your heating and cooling components at the same time, you give your entire system the best chance of surviving.
Do not let the unpredictable fall weather push your system to its breaking point. Give us a call at Affordable Heating and Cooling to schedule your total system tune-up. We will make sure your equipment is ready to handle the daily transition right now, and keep your home running reliably all year long.
