Understanding HVAC Seasonality

As temperatures fluctuate throughout the year, your home’s comfort systems work overtime to keep your living spaces cozy. At Eastside Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc., we’ve observed distinct patterns in how homeowners interact with their heating and cooling systems across different seasons.

Spring: The Ideal Time for AC Preparation

Early spring presents the perfect opportunity to:
– Schedule air conditioning maintenance
– Replace air filters
– Clean outdoor condensing units
– Check refrigerant levels
– Test thermostat functionality

Fall: Preparing for the Heating Season

Before winter arrives, smart homeowners should:
– Book furnace inspections
– Clean heating ducts
– Test carbon monoxide detectors
– Inspect heat exchangers
– Check pilot lights and ignition systems

Why Timing Matters

Scheduling maintenance during shoulder seasons (spring and fall) offers several advantages:
– Shorter wait times for appointments
– More flexible scheduling options
– Prevention of peak-season emergencies
– Better pricing opportunities
– Optimal system performance when you need it most

Emergency Service Patterns

We typically see emergency calls spike during:
– The first heatwave of summer
– Initial cold snaps in winter
– Holiday weekends
– Extreme weather events

By planning ahead and scheduling regular maintenance, you can avoid the stress and inconvenience of system failures during these critical times. Remember, preventive maintenance isn’t just about avoiding breakdowns – it’s about ensuring efficiency, extending equipment life, and maintaining healthy indoor air quality year-round.
