While they recommend that they call Premier Heating and Air for any HVAC installation or repair services they may need, as these can be complicated and result in damage to the home if performed incorrectly, there are some maintenance tasks that can be completed by the average homeowner.
Evaluate Filters
The air filter is one of the most important parts of the HVAC system, as it prevents the spread of dirt, dust, and allergens throughout the home.
Twice a year, in the spring and fall, they recommend that they check the air filter to ensure that it is clean and in good repair. Most filters need to be changed every six months to keep the air clean and the HVAC system working at its most efficient.

Most modern thermostats have separate heating and cooling functions that must be programmed to keep the home at an ideal temperature throughout the year.
Even though they may not have a need for heat yet, it’s a good time to go ahead and program the HVAC system for optimal temperatures throughout the winter. This will maximize the system’s efficiency and conserve energy, saving money.
Inspect the Furnace or Heat Pump
Are there flammable materials around the furnace that may pose a safety risk when it’s running all the time through the winter?

Think About New HVAC Installation
