Stay Comfortable All Season Long with Bannister Plumbing & Air
Get Your Home Ready for the Cooler Season
Fall in East Texas means football games, cooler mornings, and finally giving your air conditioner a break. But before winter arrives, it’s the perfect time to make sure your HVAC system is ready for the change in weather.
Your heating system has been sitting idle for months — and if dust, dirt, or worn parts go unchecked, you could be in for higher energy bills or unexpected breakdowns once the cold hits.
A quick fall HVAC maintenance check ensures your system runs efficiently, keeps your home cozy, and prevents costly repairs later.
At Bannister Plumbing & Air, our team helps Tyler homeowners get their heating and cooling systems ready for every season with expert tune-ups and honest service.
Your Fall HVAC Maintenance Checklist
Here’s how to prepare your home for the cooler months ahead — with simple steps you can do yourself and professional care that keeps your system in top shape.
DIY HVAC Maintenance Steps
A little preventive care goes a long way. Start with these quick, homeowner-friendly steps:
● Replace your air filter. Dirty filters reduce airflow and make your heater work harder. Change them every 1–3 months.
● Check your thermostat. Switch to heating mode and confirm it’s responding properly.
● Clean around your outdoor unit. Clear leaves, grass, and debris that can block airflow.
● Inspect vents and registers. Make sure they’re open and unobstructed for even heating.
● Test your heat before it’s cold. Turn it on now to make sure it’s ready when you need it.
East Texas homes surrounded by trees often collect leaves around outdoor units. Clearing that space helps your system breathe and run efficiently.
Professional HVAC Maintenance Checklist
While DIY steps help, a certified technician can catch minor issues before they become big problems. During a fall tune-up, Bannister’s licensed HVAC pros will:
● Inspect and clean burners and coils
● Test safety controls
● Lubricate moving parts
● Tighten electrical connections
● Check refrigerant levels and pressure
● Inspect blower motor, belts, and fan blades
● Verify proper airflow through ducts
● Calibrate the thermostat
A professional HVAC tune-up keeps your system safe, efficient, and reliable — saving you money and avoiding mid-winter surprises.
