Seasonality and Your HVAC System

As the seasons change, so do the demands on your home’s heating and cooling systems. At Oakmont Mechanical, we understand the importance of maintaining a comfortable indoor environment year-round. Let’s explore how seasonality affects your HVAC system and what you can do to ensure optimal performance.

Spring: Preparing for Warmer Weather

As temperatures begin to rise, it’s time to transition from heating to cooling. Here are some steps to take:

• Schedule a maintenance check for your air conditioning unit
• Replace air filters
• Clean outdoor condenser units
• Test your thermostat for accuracy

Summer: Keeping Cool Under Pressure

During peak cooling season, your AC works overtime. To maintain efficiency:

• Regularly clean or replace air filters
• Keep outdoor units free from debris
• Use ceiling fans to improve air circulation
• Consider a programmable thermostat for energy savings

Fall: Preparing for the Chill

As temperatures drop, it’s time to focus on your heating system:

• Schedule a furnace inspection and tune-up
• Check for air leaks around windows and doors
• Clean or replace furnace filters
• Test your carbon monoxide detectors

Winter: Staying Warm and Efficient

During the coldest months, your heating system works hard to keep you comfortable:

• Monitor your thermostat settings for energy efficiency
• Keep vents and radiators clear of obstructions
• Consider a humidifier to improve indoor air quality
