Keep the Heat In: HVAC Tips for Homes This Fall 🔥 Copy

As the cool winds roll off Little Lake and frost starts appearing on the rooftops, keeping your Peterborough home warm becomes top priority. A little HVAC maintenance now, can save you headaches (and dollars) all winter long.

1. Swap Out That Filter

It’s simple but often forgotten — replace your furnace filter every 1–3 months. Clean filters keep your system running efficiently and your air fresh. Try adding an essential oil to your filter for an easy way to push a nice smell throughout your entire home!

2. Book a Fall Tune-Up

Have a licensed HVAC tech give your system a once-over before the deep freeze. They’ll catch small issues early and make sure your furnace is safe, clean, and winter-ready.

3. Stop Drafts in Their Tracks

Check around windows, doors, and attic hatches for chilly leaks. A few minutes with weather stripping or caulking can make a big difference in comfort and cost.

4. Free the Flow

Keep vents and registers clear of furniture or rugs. Unblocked airflow means no more cold corners — just even, cozy heat throughout your home.

5. Smart Thermostat, Smarter Savings

Upgrade to a programmable thermostat to automatically adjust temps when you’re out. You’ll save energy while staying warm when it counts.


Stay Warm, Stay Efficient

A well-maintained HVAC system not only keeps you cozy — it protects your home’s value and efficiency all season long.
