As the cooler weather approaches here in Rowlett, TX, it’s time to make sure your home is ready for the fall and winter months. Keeping your HVAC system running smoothly not only ensures your comfort but can also save you money on energy bills. At Barnaby Heating & Air, we’ve put together some practical energy-saving tips to help your system perform at its best during the colder seasons.

Here’s what you can do to prep your HVAC system and save energy this fall:

  • Seal Drafts: Inspect windows, doors, and any other openings for drafts. By sealing leaks, you can prevent warm air from escaping and cold air from getting in, reducing the workload on your HVAC system.
  • Thermostat Optimization: Set your thermostat lower when you’re not home. Using a programmable thermostat can help you control the temperature efficiently and reduce heating costs.
  • Replace Filters: Change or clean your HVAC filters regularly. Dirty filters force your system to work harder and can reduce air quality. Clean filters improve airflow, efficiency, and indoor air quality.
  • Clear Outdoor Unit: Check your HVAC system’s outdoor unit for debris such as leaves, dirt, or branches. Keeping the unit clean allows for proper airflow and helps your system run efficiently.
  • Ceiling Fan Direction: Set your ceiling fans to rotate clockwise during the winter. This will push warm air down from the ceiling, improving heat distribution and reducing the need for excessive heating.
  • Schedule a Professional HVAC Tune-Up: The best way to ensure your system runs efficiently throughout the season is by scheduling a professional inspection and tune-up. Our team at Barnaby Heating & Air will inspect your system, clean components, and address any potential issues before they become costly repairs.

With a few simple steps, you can ensure your HVAC system operates efficiently, keeping your home warm and your utility bills in check. Plus, by investing in a professional tune-up, you can extend the life of your HVAC system and avoid unexpected breakdowns when you need heat the most.
