Understanding Seasonal HVAC Demands

As the calendar pages turn, your home’s heating and cooling needs shift dramatically. At Oakmont Mechanical, we know that maintaining optimal comfort throughout the year requires different approaches for each season.

Spring Preparation

Spring is the ideal time to prepare your air conditioning system for the upcoming heat. Key maintenance tasks include:
– Cleaning or replacing air filters
– Checking refrigerant levels
– Inspecting ductwork for leaks
– Testing thermostat functionality

Summer Performance

During peak cooling season, your A/C system works its hardest. Proper maintenance helps prevent:
– Unexpected breakdowns
– Reduced efficiency
– Higher energy bills
– Inconsistent cooling

Fall Transition

As temperatures begin to drop, it’s crucial to:
– Schedule comprehensive system inspections
– Clean all heating components
– Test emergency heating functions
– Verify proper ventilation

Winter Readiness

Cold weather demands special attention to your heating system:
– Regular filter changes
– Carbon monoxide detector testing
– Heating element inspection
– Thermostat calibration
