Seattle HVAC Prep Must-Do Tasks for the Fall Season

With Ready Energy Solutions, ensuring your Seattle home is prepared for the cool, rainy fall weather is easy. Do you know what steps to take to make sure your HVAC system maintains peak performance throughout the season? Read on to discover must-do tasks.


Replace Air Filters

Adequate airflow is essential for your HVAC system's energy efficiency. Dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne pollutants can clog your HVAC unit's air filter, diminishing the amount of airflow your system has to work with. The fall season can be especially challenging due to the additional allergens typically found in the air during this time of year.


Replace your air filter at least once every three months to maintain optimal performance and energy efficiency. This simple step only takes a few minutes to do yourself. It prolongs your unit's lifespan and reduces your monthly energy bills because your HVAC system won't have to work so hard.


Check the Ducts

How clean are your ducts? Dust easily accumulates in them, just like your air filters, potentially leading to reduced indoor air quality and poor airflow. As mentioned above, your HVAC system requires plenty of airflow to keep everything in good working order. Our team can test your indoor air quality to identify specific concerns and recommend various solutions to tackle them. With Ready Energy Solutions in your corner, you'll be breathing easier in no time!


Schedule an HVAC Energy Audit

What is an HVAC energy audit, and why should you schedule one? This helpful service is a great way to help you identify ways to reduce energy consumption, lower your monthly utility bills, prolong the lifespan of your HVAC system, and improve your unit's overall performance. An HVAC energy audit allows our technicians to thoroughly inspect your entire system and assess its energy performance, potentially saving you a significant amount on your energy bills and ensuring your system is operating at its best.
