Prepping Your AC Unit for Fall

As another August in Chicago flies by, we can now begin to turn our attention to the official start of fall in September! With a change of seasons also comes a change in temperatures, so it’s important that you take the proper precautions to care for your HVAC system. To avoid unexpected HVAC service in Palatine, our team at Blue Frost recommends the following approach to transition from summer to fall.

Clean & Cover the Unit

The next step you should take is cleaning the unit. Remove debris that’s piled up around the unit and use a hose to get rid of built-up dust and dirt. Give the unit enough time to completely dry before covering it with a waterproof or vinyl covering. Contact Blue Frost Heating & Cooling for a special-order AC cover custom-made for your make and model. Consider adding bungee cords to secure the cover onto the unit so it doesn’t blow away during a bad weather spell.

Check Back Often

While you don’t need to check on your AC unit daily, doing so once in a while can help prevent surprises at the end of the season. If you notice something major is wrong with your system, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team for help.
