This back-to-school season, make sure the only thing stressful is the kids’ homework—not your home comfort. Serving Stony Plain, Spruce Grove, Edmonton & all rural Alberta.
As the school year kicks off, many households are bracing themselves for early morning chaos, forgotten lunches, last-minute homework scrambles, and the ever-elusive matching socks. But while your kids might bring a little heat (and the occasional chill) to your daily routine, your home comfort shouldn’t add to the stress.
At Red Mechanical Services, we believe the only surprises you should be dealing with this September are pop quizzes, not a broken furnace or a wheezing air conditioner.
Why Back-to-School Season is the Perfect Time for HVAC TLC
Between the cooler mornings and warmer afternoons, late summer into early fall can put your heating and cooling system to the test. Here’s why it’s smart to give your HVAC a little attention now:
Temperature swings: One day feels like summer, the next has you reaching for a sweater. Your system needs to transition smoothly.
Busy schedules: Once school’s back, finding time for emergency repairs can be tough—preventative maintenance saves the scramble.
Energy efficiency: Well-tuned systems use less energy, which means more money left for field trips, supplies, and after-school snacks.
Your Home Comfort Checklist for a Smooth September
Book a furnace and AC tune-up before the temperatures drop for good.
Check your filters—a clean filter means better air quality and performance.
Listen for odd noises from your furnace or AC (they’re never a “normal” back-to-school soundtrack).
Ask about programmable thermostats to keep your home comfortable while you’re out and about.
