Understanding HVAC Seasonality

The timing of your heating and air conditioning maintenance can make a significant difference in both system performance and your wallet. At Grissom Service Company, we’ve noticed distinct patterns in heating and cooling demands throughout the year.

Peak Season Rush

Many homeowners wait until extreme weather hits before scheduling service:
• Summer: Emergency AC calls spike in July and August
• Winter: Heating system repairs surge in December and January
• Spring/Fall: Mixed service requests during temperature transitions

The Smart Approach to Maintenance

To avoid the peak season rush and potential emergency situations, consider this timeline:

1. Spring (March-April)
– Schedule AC maintenance before summer heat
– Check refrigerant levels
– Clean condenser coils

2. Fall (September-October)
– Prepare heating system for winter
– Replace air filters
– Inspect heat exchangers

Benefits of Off-Peak Service

Planning your maintenance during shoulder seasons offers several advantages:
• Shorter wait times for appointments
• More flexible scheduling options
• Often more competitive pricing
• Preventive care before extreme weather

Emergency vs. Planned Service

While we’re always ready to respond to urgent HVAC needs, planned maintenance typically:
• Costs less than emergency repairs
• Prevents system failures
• Extends equipment life
• Maintains optimal efficiency

Remember, your HVAC system works hardest during extreme weather, making it crucial to ensure it’s ready before these challenging periods arrive. Contact Grissom Service Company today to schedule your seasonal maintenance and stay ahead of the weather.

Conclusion

Don’t wait for your system to fail during peak demand periods. Plan your HVAC maintenance strategically to ensure comfort year-round and avoid unnecessary stress and expenses. Being proactive about your HVAC care is always the wisest choice for both comfort and cost-effectiveness.
