I was looking forward to spring because we had such a long, cold winter.
I just wanted to open the windows, air out my house, and see the green leaves return to the trees.
When the beginning of April arrived and it was still snowing, I began to think that I would never get the chance to do that. In our area, we usually never get that break anyway, it goes from freezing cold to summer like conditions within a matter of days it seems. This type of quick change can make servicing your HVAC system very difficult. I usually make my appointment for my Spring tune-up in early February because my HVAC company is so busy when things start to thaw out. Everyone wants to make sure their air conditioning is in good shape for the warmer weather. Because we can experience this change so quickly, the window of opportunity can be very short. My HVAC system is fairly new, however, this doesn’t mean that something couldn’t have happened during the winter to affect the unit. I don’t want to switch back and forth between heat and air conditioning without any knowledge of issues that may be there. Who knows, maybe a family of mice got into the ductwork or chewed through some wires, this could cause some major issues if I just turned on the system without having it checked. Making my appointment early ensures that I will be able to use my HVAC system with confidence and not have to worry about anything. I am still looking forward to warm weather and green leaves, even if I do need to turn on the air conditioning.
