ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Getting Your System Ready for Fall's Swinging Temps 🍂🌡️
This time of year, you might need the A/C ❄️ one day and the heat 🔥 the next — sometimes both in the same 24 hours! On this episode of the Check A Pro Radio Show, host Jim sits down with Nathan Shafer of Shafer Heating and Cooling 🛠️ to talk about how homeowners can stay comfortable through these unpredictable shoulder-season swings.
Nathan explains why it's worth having your furnace checked ✅ before you actually need it, rather than waiting for the first cold snap 🥶 to find out something's wrong. He and Jim also dig into a feature a lot of homeowners don't realize they have: the automatic mode on many modern thermostats 📱, which switches between heating and cooling on its own as conditions change.
They break down how to set temperature thresholds so your system isn't constantly flipping back and forth 🔄, and how a small temperature "swing" can be built into the settings for smoother, more efficient operation ⚙️. Nathan makes the case for why automatic switching is such a convenience — no more waking up shivering 🥶 or coming home to a stuffy house 🥵 because the settings didn't keep up with the weather.
Whether you're due for a furnace check-up or just want to get more out of your thermostat, this episode has practical advice to help you head into the season prepared! 🎧

00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:03.627
Should I have my furnace checked before I need to? And before you answer that
00:00:03.627 --> 00:00:07.813
question, some thermostats don't need to be switched over, do they?
00:00:08.968 --> 00:00:13.357
Good point, yeah. So in some thermostats, you can have the capability,
00:00:13.357 --> 00:00:16.508
the feature to be able just to turn it into what they call automatic mode.
00:00:17.677 --> 00:00:21.001
And obviously, some thresholds can be set there, which we take care of.
00:00:21.367 --> 00:00:24.597
In the program, we set that up so that it's not just constantly kicking back
00:00:24.597 --> 00:00:26.336
and forth. There's a couple degrees swing.
00:00:26.702 --> 00:00:31.520
But basically, my house, I'll set it at, you know, let's just say 70 degrees
00:00:31.886 --> 00:00:36.106
this time of year. And it'll automatically switch back and forth as needed.
00:00:36.437 --> 00:00:39.307
Because, yeah, we do have those days where we're wearing shorts during the day.
00:00:39.307 --> 00:00:42.407
And we got hoodies or jackets on, you know, at night. And it's chilly.
00:00:42.407 --> 00:00:43.896
We need some heat to take the edge off.
00:00:44.221 --> 00:00:46.707
And so it just makes it real easy. You don't forget to go to bed and you wake
00:00:46.707 --> 00:00:49.457
up cold, right? Or forget when you leave for work the next morning.
00:00:49.457 --> 00:00:51.983
Oh, shoot, if I turn the AC back on, you come home and it's hot in the house.
00:00:52.348 --> 00:00:54.157
It just makes it simple and you don't have to worry about that.
00:00:54.157 --> 00:00:56.597
So that is definitely an option. and some people really like that.
