Top 5 HVAC Maintenance Tips to Prepare Your California Home for Fall with All Year Inc
As the cooler weather approaches in California, it’s essential to prepare your heating and cooling systems for optimal performance. Here are five crucial maintenance tips from All Year Inc to ensure your HVAC system is ready for fall:
1. Change Your Air Filter Regularly
Changing your air filter is one of the simplest yet most effective maintenance tasks. A clean air filter improves indoor air quality and allows your HVAC system to operate efficiently. Clogged filters can restrict airflow, causing your furnace or air conditioner to work harder, which can lead to increased energy costs and potential system failure.
- How Often to Change: It’s recommended to change your filter every 1-3 months, depending on usage and filter type. If you have pets or allergies, consider changing it more frequently.
- Service Options: To make this process easier, you can sign up for a maintenance plan with All Year Inc, which includes regular filter changes. Contact us to learn more about our plans!

3. Check and Adjust Your Thermostat Settings
Your thermostat plays a crucial role in managing your home’s temperature efficiently. If you have a programmable thermostat, now is the time to adjust it for the fall season.
- Energy Savings: Set your thermostat to lower temperatures during times when you are not home. This prevents unnecessary strain on your heating system and can significantly reduce energy bills.
- Upgrade Options: If you don’t have a programmable thermostat, consider upgrading to one that allows you to set schedules easily. For assistance with thermostat settings or upgrades, call us for expert advice.

- Maintenance Steps: Regularly inspect all supply and return vents for blockages caused by furniture or dust buildup. Vacuum or wipe them down to ensure proper airflow.
- Importance of Clean Vents: Keeping vents clear helps maintain even heating throughout your home and improves indoor air quality. If you need professional duct cleaning services, get a free report from All Year Inc.

5. Weatherstrip Windows and Doors
Drafts around windows and doors can lead to significant heat loss during the colder months.
- Sealing Gaps: Inspect windows and doors for gaps where warm air can escape. Use weatherstripping or caulk to seal these areas effectively.
- Impact on Energy Bills: Proper sealing can reduce heating costs by preventing warm air from escaping, making your home more comfortable during winter months. For a comprehensive energy audit of your home, contact us at All Year Inc.
