Can you believe it is fall already? It seems like just yesterday we were all enjoying summer days in the lake, hiking at nearby mountains, visiting family, or going wine tasting! Another season passed, let's start thinking about your HVAC equipment. Since we know those wildfires took a beating on our indoor equipment, let Zoltera be there for your HVAC needs this fall.
Below are 5 tips to consider to get ready for those colder months ahead!
Tip #1 - Consider Duct Cleaning
Dust and debris equal to about 10 percent loss of efficiency for most coil and blower motor failures. This is a primary reason for higher utility costs to you during winter months. Consider duct cleaning for the fall season, at least once every 3 years to ensure your equipment is free of any contaminants or debris!
Tip #2 - Clean Your Outdoor Unit
Although the leaves falling may look peaceful, these leaves can cause major issues for your outdoor unit. They can become a fire hazard if branches get lodged into your equipment. Consider calling a technician to get your unit vacuumed and cleaned out for the fall season.

Tip #3 - Check Your Thermostat
Ensure your equipment is working by checking your thermostat. If you own a programmable thermostat, set it for the fall months anywhere between 70-78 degrees, depending on the weather outside of course. If your thermostat does not communicate properly, or changes - it might be time for a service!
Tip #4 - Replace Dirty Air Filters
