Top HVAC Maintenance Tips for Fall

All we need is a properly working and well-maintained HVAC system to keep our homes warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and well-ventilated throughout the year.

HVAC systems, too, like all other appliances in our homes or anywhere else, need regular and timely maintenance. You need an expert to take care of your HVAC system, but you also need a few maintenance tips at your fingertips. These tips can be beneficial in reducing the costs of maintenance.

 Tips for ensuring your HVAC system is in tip-top shape this fall

Maintenance is the only way to ensure an HVAC system's efficiency in the long run. Since there are so many methods and tips available, there is a lot of confusion regarding maintaining it at home. This article outlines tips that can help you maintain your home HVAC system like a pro!

  • Using a smart thermostat

Installing a smart thermostat is a great option. The temperature can be controlled automatically using sensors. In this case, as soon as you have reached your desired temperature, the thermostat will automatically turn off or reduce the temperature as you feed it. Look for the best HVAC companies in Austin, Texas, for good suggestions on thermostat selection.

  • Performing a ductwork inspection

Ductwork should be inspected at least once every year. Without regular inspection, ducts can accumulate thick layers of grunge that obstruct the airflow. Thus, your system will have to overwork, affecting its efficiency. 

  • Cleaning the outside of the unit

In many cases, we ignore the outside unit. However, cleaning it is extremely important since most of the dust gets trapped here, causing damage to the system. Thus, cleaning the outside unit every month is recommended. For professional help, get in touch with the top HVAC contractors in Hutto, TX.

  • You should regularly inspect your furnace

An efficient heating system is essential in the winter. Maintaining the efficiency of your HVAC heating system also requires regular cleaning of furnace filters. You must replace furnace filters that are severely clogged or damaged. Ensure you are replacing the burner with a blue flame, i.e., a flame that will maximize the efficiency of your furnace unit.

  • High-efficiency temperatures 

You should keep your HVAC system at a low temperature for longer periods of time rather than keeping it at a high temperature. This will save you energy, and you will see that in your electricity bills immediately. Simply setting it at the right temperature will save you even more. 

  • Schedule seasonal maintenance for your HVAC system

The work should be handled by a skilled professional. HVAC specialists are not only prepared to detect issues but planning a seasonal visit will ensure you do not ignore your HVAC system. Winter tune-ups can ensure your home is in great shape for the season. Get in touch with top HVAC contractors in Hutto, TX, for maintenance services.

These are some simple yet prime tips to follow before winters. If you are looking for the best HVAC companies in Austin, Texas, Grande Air Solutions is the best choice! Call us on (512) 677-4424

From the get go, Kassidy was excellent in scheduling options and even managed to snag me an earlier time slot than previous discussed. She took the time to reach out and confirm. A major shout out to Jamie and Carlo—talk about pros. They were excellent on providing education and explaining the why behind my duct issues. This was the initial inspection and I’ll make sure to leave details once the work is completed.

What an amazing team of people! I came home from vacation and my house was hot. It was hot outside- Austin in the summer hot. I spoke with Petra and she was able to get a technician out within a couple of hours. That in itself is quite a feat given it was after 1:30pm. Jaime Ortega was dispatched and came to check the system. This guy has great customer service skills! He is a is very respectful, polite, communicate well, explains what is going on and is very thorough. He was joined by Carlos, who is also very polite, considerate and knowledgeable. These guys make a really great team. I was told there were several problems and I explained I had been trying to deal with one side of my house not working properly and the other side never getting cool in the summer and warm in the winter. My electric bills over the last 2 months were unsustainable. They went into the attic and traced down all the ductwork, discovered some of it had been installed incorrectly and they formulated a solution. It was also decided by me to replace the entire AC system. By the time this was decided, it was well after 6:30pm. I asked when we would be able to get this to happen and they said - tomorrow! They showed up on time and regretably I did not get the 3rd team member's name- and he deserves a shout out too. They worked for more than 8 hours in that horrible heat- got the system installed and everything cleaned up, packed up, and left the space better than they found it. I really appreciate skilled professionals that respect someone's home and who take the time to talk with me and let me know what is going on, what they are finding and how to take care of my investment. I have chosen for several years to be part of their maintenance membership plan and I have never been disappointed- even when I have an unexpected event - like a system failure while on vacation. I have had the privilege of meeting one of the owners, talking with the administrative staff, and 3 technicians that are really awesome people. These guys care about the quality of work they perform and they work to keep their customers happy. No wonder they have such great reviews! I am very happy with the service I received, the way I was treated and the value they bring to their industry. Keep up the good work! I will certainly tell everyone I know to call you when they need help. Perfect name too- GRANDE AIR SOLUTIONS!!!

A/C stopped working on a Friday night and Isael came out within the hour and got it working. He was really knowledgeable and showed us other areas to keep an eye on. He stayed long enough to make sure the system was lowering the temperature in the house.

Our A/C went out late in the day on a Friday. Grande Air was able to get us in Friday evening and got our A/C up and running in just a short time. Prices were also very reasonable even though it was a weekend evening. We will definitely use them again for future A/C needs.
