October AC Tips for Naples Homes | Florida Comfort System

By

Although October means cooler weather up north, air conditioning is still a necessity here in Naples, Florida. With high humidity and warm temperatures sticking around, your AC keeps working hard long after summer ends. October is the perfect time to give your system a little extra care so it can keep you comfortable year-round.

1. Replace Your Air Filters After Summer’s Heavy Use

Summer in Naples means your AC has been running nonstop. By October, your filters are probably loaded with dust, pollen, and debris. Changing them now improves airflow, lowers energy bills, and gives you cleaner indoor air—just in time for fall visitors and the busy holiday season.

2. Clear Debris Around Your Outdoor Unit

Falling leaves, branches, and yard debris can clog your outdoor condenser and restrict airflow. Take a few minutes this fall to clear at least two feet of space around the unit so it can breathe and run efficiently.

3. Schedule a Seasonal AC Tune-Up

October is the ideal month to get your annual maintenance check-up before the snowbirds arrive and demand for service spikes. A professional inspection helps:

  • Catch small issues before they become costly repairs

  • Keep energy costs down

  • Extend the life of your AC system

4. Check Your Thermostat Settings

As mornings and evenings cool off, adjust your thermostat programming. You may not need to run your AC as hard, which helps save energy while still keeping your home comfortable.

5. Consider Air Duct Cleaning for Fresher Fall Air

After months of heavy AC use, your ductwork may be filled with dust, allergens, and even mold spores. A professional duct cleaning can dramatically improve indoor air quality, reduce allergy triggers, and give your home a fresh start for fall.
