Understanding the Seasonal Demands on Your HVAC System
Living in the Chicagoland area means experiencing dramatic temperature swings throughout the year. At All Temp Heating & Air Conditioning, we understand how these seasonal changes affect your comfort systems and impact your home’s energy efficiency.

Summer Maintenance (June-August)
• Monitor AC performance during peak heat
• Keep outdoor units clear of landscape growth
• Check condensate drain lines
• Ensure proper insulation around ductwork
Fall Transition (September-November)
• Schedule furnace inspection and maintenance
• Test heating system before cold weather arrives
• Check for carbon monoxide leaks
• Clean and inspect air vents
Winter Watchfulness (December-February)
• Monitor furnace performance
• Keep snow and ice away from outdoor units
• Check heat exchanger functionality
• Maintain proper humidity levels
Whether you’re in Bolingbrook experiencing summer humidity or battling winter winds in Evanston, proper seasonal maintenance is crucial. Our service area spans across Skokie, Lincolnwood, and Morton Grove, ensuring your HVAC system performs optimally year-round.
Location-Specific Considerations
Different areas within our service region face unique challenges:
• Lakefront communities (Evanston): Higher moisture levels affecting HVAC efficiency
• Inland areas (Bolingbrook): Greater temperature extremes
• Urban locations (Chicago): More frequent maintenance due to environmental factors
Remember, preventative maintenance is always more cost-effective than emergency repairs. Schedule your seasonal maintenance checks early to ensure your system is ready for whatever weather Chicago’s dynamic climate brings next.
