Post-Labor Day HVAC Checklist: Preparing Your Home for Fall
Labor Day has come and gone, and here in New Jersey that means cooler mornings, shorter days, and the first signs of fall creeping in. Before the real chill sets in, now is the perfect time to make sure your HVAC system is ready to keep your home comfortable all season long. A little preparation now can save you from bigger (and colder) problems later.
Here’s a simple checklist to help you get started:
✅ Change or clean your air filters
After a summer of heavy air conditioning use, filters are often clogged with dust, pollen, and debris. Fresh filters improve airflow, efficiency, and indoor air quality — and help your system run smoothly as it transitions into heating mode.
✅ Test your thermostat
Switch your thermostat over to “heat” and make sure it kicks on properly. It’s better to catch any issues now, before that first cold snap when you really need it.
✅ Clear and inspect vents
Walk through your home and make sure vents aren’t blocked by furniture, rugs, or clutter. Good airflow makes your system more efficient and keeps every room comfortable.
✅ Check your outdoor unit
If you have an outdoor condenser, clear away leaves, sticks, and other debris that may have gathered around it during summer storms. A clear unit can “breathe” better and run more efficiently.
✅ Schedule a professional tune-up
While there are a few tasks homeowners can do on their own, nothing replaces a professional inspection. A seasonal tune-up ensures that your furnace or heat pump is running safely and efficiently, while also catching small issues before they become costly repairs.
Why now is the perfect time
Fall is one of the busiest times for HVAC companies — and it’s also when unexpected cold snaps can catch homeowners off guard. By scheduling service now, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your system is ready before temperatures dip. Plus, regular maintenance helps extend the life of your equipment and keeps energy bills in check.
