As temperatures drop, preparing your HVAC system for winter can keep your home cosy and prevent costly repairs. Here’s a winterisation checklist to get your HVAC ready for the cold months.

Inspect and Replace Filters
Clean filters ensure that your system isn’t overworked. Winter is a time when indoor air quality matters most, so replacing filters is an easy way to keep your home comfortable.

Clear the Outdoor Unit
Winter storms and falling debris can clog outdoor units. Make sure the area is free of obstructions and protect it with a weather-resistant cover to extend its life.

Test the Thermostat
Testing your thermostat before winter sets in ensures it’s working correctly. A programmable thermostat allows you to set a winter schedule, optimising comfort and saving energy.

Seal Windows and Doors
Gaps around doors and windows cause heat loss, making your HVAC system work harder. Weatherstripping or caulking can reduce drafts, lowering your heating costs and keeping your space cosy.
