Why HVAC Systems Struggle in February
Even mild Frisco winters can include sudden temperature dips. These short cold snaps, combined with constant heating use, put strain on HVAC units, causing:
- Overworked compressors
- Uneven heating
- Reduced energy efficiency
- Unexpected breakdowns
Older systems or units in larger homes face higher risk, while newer technology can still require maintenance to operate optimally.
Signs Your HVAC Needs Attention
- Strange noises or vibrations during operation
- Rooms that never seem to reach desired temperatures
- Frequent cycling on and off
- Rising energy bills
Tips to Prevent February HVAC Failures
- Schedule Early Maintenance: Inspections in February can catch minor issues before they become major.
- Replace Filters Regularly: Keeps airflow smooth and reduces stress on the system.
- Inspect Ductwork: Ensure airflow isn’t obstructed and ducts are leak-free.
- Optimize Thermostat Settings: Avoid large swings in temperature.
- Weatherstrip and Seal Drafts: Prevent heat loss and overworking your system.
