What to Expect During a Fall HVAC Maintenance Visit

As cooler weather approaches, fall is the ideal time to prepare your heating system for the upcoming busy season. At 24-Hr Home Comfort Services, we’re committed to keeping your home safe, warm, and running efficiently all year long. That’s why we always recommend heating maintenance in Lake in the Hills—a simple step that delivers lasting comfort, reliability, and peace of mind. Let’s look at exactly what happens during a fall HVAC maintenance visit so you know what to expect and why it’s so valuable for your home.

Why Fall Maintenance Matters

Your heating system has likely been resting through the summer months. Fall is the ideal time for a full tune-up to ensure everything is clean, calibrated, and ready to perform efficiently before cold temperatures arrive. Our goal is to prevent breakdowns, extend the lifespan of your equipment, and save you money on energy bills—all while ensuring your home stays cozy.

What Our Technicians Check During a Tune-Up

When we arrive for your fall HVAC maintenance visit, you can count on a detailed, step-by-step process focused on safety, efficiency, and long-term reliability.

1. Thermostat Calibration

We begin with one of the most important components of your comfort system: the thermostat. Our technicians ensure the thermostat is accurately calibrated so your system heats your home properly. A misreading thermostat can cause uneven temperatures or unnecessary strain on your equipment.

2. Air Filter Inspection and Replacement

A clean filter supports healthy airflow, improves indoor air quality, and helps your system run efficiently. We check the current filter for dust and debris, replace it if necessary, and recommend the best filter type for your home’s needs.

3. Ductwork Inspection

Our team inspects visible ductwork for signs of leaks, blockages, or damage. Even small leaks can lead to wasted energy and uneven heating. Identifying issues early protects both comfort and efficiency.

4. Cleaning and Inspecting Internal Components

Dust and buildup can significantly impact performance. We clean essential components—including burners, flame sensors, and blower assemblies—to ensure smooth operation. This step also helps prevent unexpected mid-season failures.

5. Safety System Checks

Your family’s safety is always our top priority. We test all safety controls, ignition systems, and connections to confirm your heating system is operating securely and reliably.

6. Lubrication of Moving Parts

To reduce wear and tear, we lubricate motors and other moving parts. Proper lubrication minimizes friction, lowers energy consumption, and extends the lifespan of your equipment.

7. System Performance Test

Once everything is inspected and cleaned, we run the system to ensure it starts smoothly, heats correctly, and cycles properly. This final check verifies optimal performance before we leave your home.
