Check out the following tips for preparing your air conditioning unit to rest and your heating system to go to work.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Clean Your System<br \/>\n<\/strong>As you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ehow.com\/how_4481067_winterize-air-conditioner.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">winterize your air conditioning<\/a> unit, make a thorough cleaning of all of the equipment. Drain the hoses and ensure there is no remaining water in any part of your air conditioning unit. Remove dirt, leaves, and other debris from your air conditioner before covering it for the winter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have Your Heating System Inspected<br \/>\n<\/strong>Call your air conditioning or heating specialists to inspect your heaters, fireplace, furnaces and other heating home appliances for the winter. While you can do most of the home preparation yourself, it\u2019s still essential to receive a professional maintenance check for any precautionary repairs or concerns.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change the Filters<br \/>\n<\/strong>Although you may not be planning to use your air conditioning during the winter, it\u2019s still important to change out the filter. This way, your old filter doesn\u2019t collect dust over the next few months and potentially spread bacteria to the rest of the unit. Also, changing your filter gives you the ability to run your air conditioner at a moment\u2019s notice. Be sure to change and check the filters of your furnace or heating pump before the winter months as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare Your Water Heater<br \/>\n<\/strong>As you complete your preparation in shutting down your air conditioner for the winter, it\u2019s equally important to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebalancemoney.com\/home-maintenance-budget-453820\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prepare your heating appliances<\/a> for the coming winter months and frequent usage. Turn down your water heater to save extra money on energy bills during the winter. Especially since you will have the heat running more, lower the temperature of your water heater to conserve energy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To schedule a servicing appointment for your heater and air conditioner in the Fairfax area, call the experts at <a title=\"F.H.
