You would want to be sure your heating system is up to the task when the cooler weather sets in. But when did a professional last put an eye on your HVAC unit? Or are you aware of the minor upkeep that can prevent a costly repair come winter?
Should any of that give one moment’s thought, then this is where you need to be. We at TNT Service Group (Thompson & Thompson) are on hand to assist; our team can be contacted at (912) 549-1521. As the top five-star rated HVAC firm in Savannah and the rest of the Coastal Empire, we make it our business to see that your home is safe and comfortable as the seasons turn.
There is a certain unpredictability to a Coastal Empire fall. The air conditioner is hard at work one week, the next you are after the heat. Such whiplash is hard on a system. A bit of care now will ensure the season is trouble free.
The Case for Fall Maintenance in This Part of Town
Humidity, salt in the air, temperatures that do not stay put: these are the realities for a homeowner in Savannah and they wear on your equipment. Too often a system gives out on the first cold night of the year because no one bothered to have it seen to after the summer heat.
With some maintenance you can stave off a breakdown and run more efficiently, putting lower energy bills in your pocket when you need the warmth most.
A Few Things to Do This Fall
Any homeowner can do some of the following to put an HVAC in order before winter arrives:
- Put in a new air filter; once the heat is in regular use make it a point to check it monthly
- Make sure the outdoor unit has room to breathe by removing any debris or leaves
- See if your thermostat does its job of delivering warm air when set to heat
- Give ear to the system on start up for anything out of the ordinary, be it a rattle or a squeal
- Vents and registers should be free of rugs or furniture
- Inspect the outside of the unit for corrosion of the sort our coastal air can cause
- Be on the alert for strange odours, a burning smell in particular when the heat comes on
They are straightforward measures and will put you on to any early warnings. Then again, a proper checkup requires someone with the training for it.
Our Professional Tune-Up
What our licensed and insured technicians will do in the way of an inspection is of a different order than what you can do yourself. They get at the components that underpin a reliable system all winter, from the electrical and the controls to the heat exchanger and airflow.
We are forthright about pricing so there is never any pressure or surprise as to what is being charged. A free estimate is ours to give, and it is no cost to you to know how your system is faring.
Indoor Air Quality Should Not Be Overlooked
When you put the house in order against the cold in the fall, dust and allergens have a tendency to accumulate. A system in good order will circulate and filter better, which is of particular importance if allergies are an issue in the household.
