Fall HVAC Maintenance Checklist for Colorado Springs Homes

DIY steps every homeowner can do

A few minutes of prep in September or October helps prevent a no-heat call during the first cold snap.

• Replace the furnace filter, and check it monthly through winter
• Test the thermostat in heat mode before you need it
• Clear storage away from the furnace and water heater
• Test carbon monoxide and smoke alarms
• Check that outdoor vent pipes are clear
