5 Ways to Make Sure Your Air Conditioner is Ready for Fall

October 24, 2016

There are likely some things you do to get yourself prepped for fall in Wausau, like get your long sleeved shirts out of storage and think through your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are a few things you might forget about while getting ready for fall – like your air conditioner. We’re about to say see you later to warm weather and we’re headed into cooler months. Along with your regular air conditioner service from Gilray Heating and Cooling, we have a few tips that may help keep you cozy and get your air conditioner ready for the change in season.

  1. Check and Replace Your Air Filter
    This is easy advice for every season in Wausau. Before you completely stop using your air conditioner, go switch out your filter from dusty to clean. A filthy filter means your air conditioner has to try harder to keep you comfortable which might negatively impact your comfort and mean higher bills.
  2. Unblock Vents and Registers
    As you’ve relocated furniture or brought more into the house, be sure you haven’t blocked any of your vents. A blocked vent has the chance to raise your utility costs.
  3. Schedule Annual Air Conditioner Service
    Fall is the ideal time in Wausau to get your air conditioner inspected by one of our expert technicians. We will do an in-depth inspection of your unit and make sure it will be in good working order for the coming cooler months in Wausau. Routine air conditioner service can help you get the most out of your air conditioner’s performance, and could also play a role in the life of your system. Not to mention that a large percentage of the emergency calls we get over these next few months are a result of a lack of maintenance.

We want you to enjoy every aspect of the season in comfort. If you have any questions for us about getting your home ready for fall or need to arrange your routine air conditioner service give the pros at Gilray Heating and Cooling a call at 715-301-0727.
