Florida Homeowner’s Guide to Fall HVAC Prep 🍂🌴

Short fall, big payoff. Florida’s cooler months are the best time to give your HVAC some love. A little preventative care now means fewer surprises later—lower bills, cleaner air, and steadier comfort when temps dip. Here’s your quick, Florida-friendly checklist.

Your Fall HVAC Checklist ✅

1. 🪶 Replace or clean air filters (every 1–3 months). Pets or allergies? Do it monthly for cleaner air and better efficiency.
2. 🌴 Clear the outdoor unit. Remove palm fronds/mulch, keep 2 ft. of clearance, and gently rinse fins with a hose (power off first!).
3. 🛠️ Inspect ductwork for leaks, rust, or musty smells. Florida humidity can invite mold—professional sealing/cleaning can help.
4. 🧊 Schedule a pro tune-up. We’ll inspect coils, check refrigerant, test safety controls, and calibrate the thermostat to catch small issues early.
5. 📲 Test your thermostat. Switch to heat mode briefly to confirm quick, even response. Consider a smart thermostat for hands-off savings.
6. 🔒 Seal doors & windows. Weatherstripping and attic insulation help keep cool air in (summer) and drafts out (winter).

Why Do This Now? 🤔

• 💸 Save on energy: Clean filters and proper calibration reduce strain and utility costs.
• 🧩 Prevent breakdowns: Tune-ups find small problems before they become big repairs.
• ⏳ Extend equipment life: Routine care reduces wear on motors, controls, and coils.
