Understanding HVAC Seasonality Your Home Needs Year Round Care

The Rhythm of Home Comfort Throughout the Year

As Michigan residents know all too well, each season brings its own unique challenges when it comes to maintaining a comfortable home environment. At Apollo Heating & Cooling, Inc., we’ve observed distinct patterns in heating and cooling needs across Saint Clair Shores, Warren, Roseville, and surrounding communities.

Fall: Preparation Season

• Schedule preventive maintenance
• Replace air filters
• Check thermostat functionality
• Inspect ductwork

Winter: Peak Heating Season

During Michigan’s harsh winters, your furnace works overtime. This is when we see the highest demand for:
• Emergency heating repairs
• Furnace tune-ups
• Heat exchanger inspections
• Carbon monoxide testing

Spring: Transition Period

The perfect time for:
• System evaluations
• Ductwork cleaning
• Filter replacements
• AC preparation

Summer: Cooling Focus

• Air conditioning maintenance
• Refrigerant level checks
• Cooling efficiency optimization
• Ventilation assessment

Planning Ahead Saves Money

The best way to avoid emergency repairs is to schedule regular maintenance during off-peak seasons. Most homeowners in Eastpointe and Harper Woods wait until extreme weather hits before calling for service, leading to longer wait times and potentially higher costs.

Smart Seasonal Tips

1. Schedule furnace maintenance in late summer or early fall
2. Book AC services in early spring
3. Change filters monthly during peak usage seasons
4. Monitor system performance during seasonal transitions

Remember, your HVAC system needs attention year-round, not just when problems arise. By understanding these seasonal patterns, you can better prepare for your home’s comfort needs throughout the year.
