Living in Massachusetts means your HVAC system works hard year-round. Here's a practical seasonal checklist to keep your system running well all year long.
Spring (Before Cooling Season)
- Replace or clean your air filter
- Clear debris from around the outdoor A/C unit
- Test your thermostat in cooling mode
- Schedule a professional A/C tune-up
- Check the condensate drain line for clogs
Summer
- Check your filter monthly — replace if dirty
- Keep vents open and unblocked by furniture
- Monitor for reduced airflow or warm air
Fall (Before Heating Season)
- Replace air filter before firing up the furnace or boiler
- Test your thermostat in heating mode
- Schedule a professional furnace or boiler tune-up
- Test and replace carbon monoxide detector batteries
- Bleed radiators if you have a hot water system
Winter
- Monitor your heating bills for unexpected spikes
- Check the filter monthly
- Don't ignore unusual sounds from your furnace or boiler
- Keep outdoor heat pump units clear of ice and snow
The Single Best Thing You Can Do
Schedule professional tune-ups twice a year — fall for your heating system, spring for cooling. Annual maintenance prevents the majority of breakdowns and extends equipment life significantly.
