Check all rooms in the house to make sure that unused appliances are unplugged. Electronics consume electricity even if they are not being used, as long as they remain plugged in.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vacuum the home<\/strong>\u2014Since dust collects and gathers while you are away from your St. Louis home, make sure to thoroughly vacuum the entire home before leaving in order to maintain its indoor air quality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enlist the help of a friend<\/strong>\u2014Ask a friend or a neighbor to watch over your house while you are away. Small things such as watering your plants, picking up your mail, or even parking in your driveway will ensure that your house is maintained and will derail potential burglars that are on the prowl.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare for bad weather<\/strong>\u2014To prevent storm-damage to your home or HVAC system, clear the yard of low-hanging tree limbs, unsecured structures, overgrown shrubs, leaves, and other debris that could restrict the air flow to your outside HVAC unit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check your HVAC system<\/strong>\u2014Check your furnace or air conditioner for any signs of leakage and to determine if the unit is in need of repair or maintenance. Also clean your air filters before you go. Doing this identifies problems early on, prevents damage in your HVAC system during your absence, and makes it ready for use upon your return. For added security, you may also schedule an HVAC system inspection before leaving to check if everything is in order and all connections are tight.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prep your HVAC system<\/strong>\u2014Immediately before leaving, turn down your heating system by adjusting your thermostat to about 50 to 60 degrees to prevent pipes from bursting and to reduce energy consumption. If you are using a programmable thermostat, activate its vacation settings. Make sure there is a surge protector installed in your HVAC system to protect it from sudden power outages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Need_Help_with_Your_HVAC_System\"><\/span>Need Help with Your HVAC System?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ultimately, the best way that you can prepare your HVAC system for any season is with a service maintenance contract.
