Seasonal affects on HVAC / Air Conditioning Units

HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) and air conditioning units are impacted by seasonal changes in various ways. Some of the seasonal effects on these units are:

  • Summer: During the summer, air conditioning units work harder to keep buildings cool and comfortable, which can put a strain on the system and increase energy consumption. This is also the time when air conditioning units are most likely to break down due to increased usage.


  • Winter: During the winter, heating units are put to the test, especially in colder climates. Old or inefficient heating units can struggle to keep buildings warm, leading to increased energy consumption and higher heating bills. In addition, HVAC systems that are not properly winterized are at risk of freezing and damage.


  • Spring and Fall: During the spring and fall, HVAC and air conditioning units are transitioning between heating and cooling modes. These transition periods can be stressful for the system, leading to increased wear and tear, and the need for regular maintenance.


Regular maintenance and cleaning of HVAC and air conditioning units can help to mitigate the impact of seasonal changes and ensure that these systems are working efficiently and effectively. SBS-NC, LLC offers both commercial and residential preventative maintenance programs. Call us today!
