At Belyea Brothers, we understand that maintaining a comfortable home environment throughout the year requires careful planning and regular maintenance. Let’s explore how seasonality affects your HVAC system and what you can do to ensure optimal performance.

As winter fades away, it’s time to prepare your air conditioning system for the warmer months ahead. Here are some key tasks to consider:

• Schedule AC maintenance
• Clean or replace air filters

Summer: Keeping Cool Under Pressure

Toronto summers can be hot and humid, putting extra strain on your AC system. To ensure your home stays cool and comfortable:

• Consider upgrading to a more energy-efficient model if your current system is outdated

Fall: Transitioning to Heating Season

As temperatures begin to drop, it’s time to shift focus to your heating system:

• Schedule a furnace inspection and tune-up
• Test your thermostat and replace batteries if needed
• Clean or replace furnace filters
• Check for any gas leaks or carbon monoxide issues

Winter: Staying Warm and Efficient

During the cold Toronto winters, your heating system works overtime. Keep it running smoothly by:
