As we prepare to move from summer to fall, facility managers have a valuable opportunity to prepare their HVAC systems for the colder months ahead. Taking the right steps now can prevent costly breakdowns, improve efficiency, and keep occupants comfortable. At AirConnect, we recommend facility managers focus on these three priorities:
1. Schedule Preventive Maintenance
Fall is the ideal time to perform a full system check before heating demand rises. Preventive maintenance helps spot issues early and extends equipment life. Key tasks include:
- Inspecting and cleaning burners, heat exchangers, and ignition systems.
- Checking belts, motors, and bearings for wear.
- Replacing or cleaning air filters to ensure proper airflow.
A small investment in maintenance now can prevent large repair bills later.
2. Improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
With more time spent indoors during the colder months, air quality matters more than ever. Facility managers should:
- Consider upgrading to high-efficiency air filters.
- Ensure ventilation systems are balanced for both fresh air and efficiency.
- Explore air purification solutions for added protection.
Better IAQ supports occupant health, productivity, and comfort.
3. Optimize for Energy Efficiency
Energy costs rise when the heating season begins, but smart strategies can help control expenses:
- Program thermostats around actual occupancy.
- Seal leaks in ductwork and inspect insulation.
- Review building automation settings for seasonal adjustments.
Even small efficiency improvements can generate significant savings throughout fall and winter.
