Making the Most of Seasonal HVAC Maintenance
As Wisconsin residents know all too well, our weather patterns demand a well-functioning heating and cooling system year-round. Understanding when to schedule different HVAC services can help you maintain optimal home comfort while potentially saving money on energy bills and avoiding emergency repairs.
Spring (March-May)
• Schedule AC maintenance before summer heat arrives
• Clean or replace air filters
• Check and clean outdoor AC units after winter
• Inspect ductwork for winter damage
Summer (June-August)
• Monitor AC performance during peak usage
• Keep outdoor units clear of debris and vegetation
• Consider upgrading to energy-efficient systems
• Schedule regular maintenance checks
Fall (September-November)
• Book heating system inspections
• Replace furnace filters
• Test thermostats
• Seal any air leaks around windows and doors
Winter (December-February)
• Monitor heating system performance
• Schedule emergency services as needed
• Plan ahead for spring maintenance
• Consider indoor air quality solutions
Location-Specific Considerations
Residents in Waukesha, Oconomowoc, Summit, Hartland, Delafield, and Pewaukee should pay particular attention to their HVAC systems due to our region’s extreme temperature variations. Our local climate can put additional stress on heating and cooling equipment, making regular maintenance even more crucial.
Planning Ahead
To ensure the best service availability and potentially save money:
• Book routine maintenance during off-peak seasons
• Schedule installations during milder weather months
• Keep a regular maintenance calendar
• Don’t wait until emergency situations arise
Remember that preventive maintenance is always more cost-effective than emergency repairs. By following these seasonal guidelines, you can help ensure your HVAC system operates efficiently throughout the year while extending its lifespan.
