Why Fall Maintenance Matters

The mild Central Coast climate can make it easy to overlook HVAC maintenance, but regular system care remains crucial. As temperatures begin to fluctuate between warm days and cool nights, your HVAC system needs to be ready to respond effectively.

Essential Fall Maintenance Checklist

• Replace or clean air filters monthly
• Clear debris from outdoor units
• Check and clean air vents throughout your home
• Schedule professional inspection of heating elements
• Test thermostat functionality
• Inspect ductwork for leaks or damage
