Smart Seasonal Home Maintenance Tips for Alabama Homeowners
Understanding Alabama’s Unique Climate Challenges
Living in the Birmingham area means dealing with distinct seasonal changes that can significantly impact your home’s comfort systems. At Stegall Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical, we understand how these seasonal transitions affect your home’s essential systems.
Spring Maintenance (March-May)
- Schedule AC system inspections before summer heat
- Check outdoor electrical connections for winter damage
- Inspect plumbing for freeze damage
- Clean gutters and check drainage systems
Summer Preparation (June-August)
Your air conditioning system faces its toughest workout during Alabama’s humid summers. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns when you need cooling most. Mountain Brook and Vestavia residents particularly understand the importance of reliable AC during those scorching afternoons.
Fall Checklist (September-November)
- Furnace inspection and cleaning
- Thermostat calibration
- Duct system examination
- Electrical safety checks
Winter Readiness (December-February)
While Birmingham winters are milder than northern states, Hoover and Helena homeowners still need reliable heating systems. Furnace maintenance becomes crucial during these months.
