So, it’s the Dodgers and Yankees in the World Series, and we’re just…here. If you’re finding it hard to root for either team, maybe it’s time to channel that Philly energy into something productive. Here are five things you can do with your HVAC system during those commercial breaks, lulls in the action, or anytime you need to feel like you’re winning at something.

1. Swap Out Your Air Filter

Unlike your hopes for this World Series, your air filter actually can get a refresh. Take a quick moment to change it out and make sure you’re breathing cleaner air as we wait for next season. This easy task can improve air quality and help your system work more efficiently.

2. Adjust the Thermostat to Your Comfort Zone

Might as well keep cozy while you watch the game. Test out your thermostat settings and find that perfect temperature—somewhere between “it’s October” and “I’m already counting down to spring training.” A few small adjustments can help you save on energy bills too, so you can afford those Phillies tickets next season.

3. Clean Around the Vents

Use this downtime to clear dust and debris from around your vents. It’s simple but effective—good airflow means a happier HVAC system, even if it’s just you holding down the fort until Philadelphia has something to cheer for again.

4. Test the Heat Before Winter Hits Full Swing

We might not have a dog in the fight, but winter’s coming all the same. Fire up the heat to make sure it’s ready for the season ahead. Turn it on, check for strange noises, then turn it off if you’re not quite ready to commit to winter mode. It’s better to catch any issues now than during an unexpected cold snap.

5. Consider Scheduling a Tune-Up

If you’re feeling extra proactive, book an HVAC tune-up. McCorry Comfort offers seasonal maintenance that can keep your system running efficiently. Because even if Philly’s out of the series, you can make sure your heating is in prime shape for whatever the offseason—and winter—throw your way.

So while the Dodgers and Yankees duke it out, use the break as a chance to get your HVAC ready for the colder months. The World Series might be lacking Philly magic this year, but at least your home comfort won’t be.
