Seasonal maintenance: how to prepare your HVAC system for summer heat / winter cold
Hey everyone, I’m trying to get my house ready for the summer heat, and honestly, I’m a bit lost. Last year my AC started making this weird rattling noise right in the middle of a heatwave, and it was a nightmare. I think I skipped some basic maintenance steps. Does anyone have a simple routine for getting an HVAC system ready before things get too hot? I don’t want to be stuck sweating again like last year.

Oh, I totally get you! I had a similar scare last summer—my AC was blowing warm air, and I realized I hadn’t cleaned the filters in months. I usually start by swapping the filters, checking the thermostat, and making sure the outdoor unit isn’t blocked by leaves or debris. If you want a more detailed check, you can actually book a seasonal inspection with services like car AC and heating service in Bristol Brake pad wear . They go through the whole system, clean coils, check refrigerant, and make sure everything’s running smoothly. It saved me from a major repair last year.
