Fall is here, and winter is on the horizon—is your home ready? Check out these helpful tips to prepare your home for the colder weather.
Turn off Your AC
Once it’s cool enough outside to open your windows during the day, it’s time to turn off your air conditioner. Consider having your air conditioner maintained at the end of summer—this will help identify any issues and make sure your system is ready to go again in the spring! Cover your outdoor air conditioner to prevent twigs, leaves, and other debris from clogging it up when not in use.
Consider Upgrading Your Insulation
Insulation keeps your home toasty warm in the winter—and cool in the summer—by controlling the flow of heat. Adequate insulation helps ensure that your HVAC system runs efficiently, saving you money on your monthly energy bills. If your bills seem too high, or you struggle to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home, consult with a qualified home energy auditor, and consider upgrading your home’s insulation.

Consider Upgrading Your Furnace
Old furnaces not only require more regular repairs and maintenance, but they’re also less efficient than newer models—costing you more money in the long run. A significant spike in your energy bills, uneven heating throughout your home, low air quality, and frequent repairs are all signs that it’s time to replace your furnace.
