How to Prepare Your HVAC System Before Summer Vacation

Summer is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to start thinking about how to prepare your HVAC system for vacation. If you’re like most homeowners, you’ll be going away for at least a week or two this summer. Before you go, you’ll want to make sure your AC is running properly so that you can come home to a cool and comfortable home. In this blog post,  Intelligent Air Services, LLC (iAir) will discuss some tips for preparing your AC system before going on vacation.

CHANGE THE AIR FILTER

One of the most important things you can do to prepare your AC for vacation is to change the air filter. A clean air filter will help your system run more efficiently and prevent it from overworking while you’re gone. It’s also a good idea to leave the HVAC system on while you’re away. This will help keep your home at a comfortable temperature and prevent mold and mildew from growing.

INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE BY A FEW DEGREES

Another tip for preparing your AC for summer vacation is increasing the temperature on your thermostat by a few degrees. This will help you save energy while you’re away, and it will also prevent your system from overworking. If you have a programmable thermostat, you can set it to increase the temperature gradually before you leave so that your home is comfortable when you return.

SCHEDULE AN AC TUNE-UP

Finally, schedule a tune-up for your AC system before summer vacation. A tune-up will ensure that your system is running properly and help prevent any unexpected breakdowns while you’re away. Contact us today to schedule a tune-up for your AC system!
