Understanding the Seasonal Demands on Your HVAC System
As West Virginia residents know all too well, our climate demands different things from our heating and cooling systems throughout the year. From scorching summers to frigid winters, your HVAC system works tirelessly to maintain comfort in your home.
Spring Preparation
When winter finally releases its grip, it’s time to prepare your system for the warming temperatures ahead:
• Clean or replace air filters
• Check and clean outdoor AC units
• Inspect ductwork for winter damage
• Schedule professional maintenance
Summer Readiness
During peak cooling season, your air conditioning system needs to be in top condition to handle the humidity and heat:
• Clear vegetation around outdoor units
• Clean condensate drains
• Check thermostat calibration
• Monitor system performance
Fall Transition
As temperatures begin to drop, prepare your heating system for the work ahead:
• Test heating system operation
• Check carbon monoxide detectors
• Seal any air leaks around windows and doors
• Schedule heating system tune-up
Winter Protection
When cold weather arrives, your heating system becomes crucial for comfort and safety:
• Protect outdoor units from ice and snow
• Monitor indoor humidity levels
• Keep vents unobstructed
• Schedule regular maintenance checks
