🌦 Why Seasonal HVAC Tune-Ups Are a Must in Portland’s Damp, Changing Climate

Portland homeowners face unique challenges when keeping HVAC systems in top condition.
Our long, damp winters, pollen-heavy springs, and sudden summer heat waves mean your HVAC system works year-round — switching between heating, cooling, and indoor air quality management.

💡 A seasonal tune-up isn’t just “nice to have” — it’s your best defense against expensive repairs, poor air quality, and wasted energy.

🌲 Portland’s Weather and Your HVAC

Living in the Pacific Northwest means dealing with:

• 🌧 Moisture buildup that can cause mold or mildew.
• 🌸 Pollen season that can help block filters in the spring and cause indoor air quality issues.
• ☀️ Sudden summer heat that strains unprepared systems.

If your system isn’t maintained, it can cause:

• Mold growth in the heating and cooling system.
• Higher utility bills.
• Unexpected breakdowns when you need heating or cooling most.

💪 Benefits of Seasonal HVAC Tune-Ups

• ✅ Helps prevent mold and mildew in ductwork.
