As we “fall” back into another autumn, it’s a great time to make sure that your home is ready for the changing season and coming winter. Maybe you plan to have guests visit over the holidays or you just expect more muddy shoes coming in and out. Hiring a professional carpet cleaning or air duct service will ensure that your home is as clean and comfortable as possible when it’s the season to spend more time indoors.
Tips for HVAC System Maintenance this Fall
Replace Air Filters
The start of fall is a great time to check and replace your filters. Disposable filters keep the air duct system clean and prevent dirty air particles from circulating throughout your home. It’s good to change filters every three months. If you’re not sure how to do this or what filter to purchase, PureClean can provide this service along with air duct cleaning.
Clean your A/C Condensing Unit
After running for much of the summer, a condensing unit will likely get clogged with dirt and grime. You can use a hose and damp washcloth to spray clean the outside. It’s also helpful to trim bushes and overgrowth that might be around and growing onto your condenser.
Get your dryer ducts cleaned
Dryer ducts should be cleaned once a year. Fall is a great time to make sure that you dryer is running smoothly and that the dryer duct is not clogged with lint, hair, and debris. A clean duct will prevent fire risk, clothing damage, and excessive energy costs on drying. It will also lengthen the life of your dryer.
HVAC and Air Duct Cleaning
Air duct cleaning removes the dust, dirt, pollen, and debris that builds up in the duct system over time. We recommend air duct cleaning once every 3-5 years. This service will ensure that your HVAC system is running efficiently while also circulating cleaner air throughout your home. If you notice that dust quickly accumulates in the surfaces in your home, it might be time to call us out for an air duct inspection and cleaning.
Tips for Home Carpet Cleanliness this Fall
Invest in welcome mats at all your entrances
During the fall and winter seasons, it is much more likely that the shoes entering your home will be covered in dirt, mud, debris, and leaves. Simply investing in a few entrance mats in your home will reduce this dirt from being tracked in and remind people to take off their shoes. If you have pets, entrance mats also help to clean dirty paws.
Take shoes off before entering the home
Encourage people to take their shoes off before entering your home. A shoe rack or simple signage can be a good reminder.
Hire a professional carpet cleaner
A professional carpet cleaner will provide a deep clean of the carpets in your home, removing dirt, stains, odors, and allergens. Fall is a perfect time to invest in a professional carpet cleaning. You’ll likely be spending more time indoors, so it will help your home be as cozy, clean, and comfortable as possible.
These simple tips and helpful hints for fall HVAC maintenance and keeping your floors clean will keep your home comfortable and clean for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. Addressing seasonal maintenance and cleaning also helps ensure the protection of your home and prevent large HVAC repair and carpet replacement costs.
