As we move from the warm days of summer into the cooler months of fall in Northgate, it’s critical to remember to give your home’s HVAC system a little TLC. HVAC tune-up and preventative maintenance now can save you money and headaches down the road. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through a few simple tips on how to prepare your home’s HVAC for the change in seasons.
Change Your Filters
One of the most important things you can do to maintain your HVAC system is to change your air filters regularly. Depending on the type of filter you have, you may need to replace it as often as once a month or every few months.
However, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and replace your filters more often than necessary. This simple task can go a long way in prolonging the life of your HVAC system and keeping energy costs down.
Get a Professional Tune-Up
While changing your air filters is a simple task that you can do yourself, we recommend calling in a professional for an annual tune-up. A qualified technician will be able to clean your coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect ductwork, and more. This preventative maintenance can identify small issues before they become more extensive (and more expensive) problems.
Upgrade Your Thermostat
If you haven’t already done so, now is a great time to upgrade your thermostat to a programmable model. Not only will this allow you to automatically adjust temperatures based on whether anybody is home or not, but you can also set it to automatically lower the temperature at night or when everyone is away at work or school during the day.
By following these simple tips, you can help prolong the life of your HVAC system and keep energy costs down.

I highly recommend Bill from Cascade Energy Services. He did what other HVAC companies in the area weren't able to do. Instead of trying to sell me into buying a new HVAC unit (which is what I initially contacted him for), he found me a replacement part for my existing high-end Trane furnace, ordered it on my behalf for local pickup just down the road from my house. This saved me $$ by not having to replace my entire furnace. I had paid another HVAC company to come out and try to find the replacement part but they couldn't do it. Bill did it over phone / email and didn't charge me anything. I simply paid for the part (at wholesale cost) that he ordered, and once I plugged in the new part (pressure switch), my furnace was up and running like normal. I'd trust Bill on the any HVAC matters. He is very knowledgeable and cares about doing the right thing for the customer. I now have a trusted go-to source for future heating and cooling needs!
