As summer winds down in New Hampshire, facility managers and business owners shift their focus toward preparing buildings for colder months. One of the most important steps? Scheduling your fall commercial HVAC maintenance—before temperatures drop and heating demands rise.
Whether your building uses rooftop units, heat pumps, or packaged systems, fall is the right time to ensure everything is operating safely, efficiently, and reliably. And the earlier you schedule, the more you can avoid last-minute scrambles and costly breakdowns.
Why Fall HVAC Maintenance Is Critical in New Hampshire
In a climate like New Hampshire’s, fall isn’t just a season—it’s a short window of opportunity to get ahead of winter. Late September through early November is the sweet spot for scheduling service, allowing time for:
- Equipment inspection and adjustments
- Cleaning and filter changes
- Repairs or part replacements before emergency demand increases
- Reducing the risk of no-heat calls during the first cold snap
Planned maintenance now protects your operations, staff, and tenants later.
What’s Included in Fall Commercial HVAC Maintenance?
While every system is different, a typical fall service visit from Wicked Cool Mechanical includes:
- Full inspection of heating components (furnace, heat pump, or gas burner)
- Testing of safety controls and ignition systems
- Filter replacement and belt inspections
- Cleaning of coils and burner assemblies
- Checking for leaks in combustion or refrigerant systems
- Verifying thermostat function and system responsiveness
- Inspecting venting and airflow for safety and efficiency
If your building uses rooftop units (RTUs), we’ll also inspect hoods and seals, confirm proper drainage, and verify heating mode function.
When Should You Schedule?
Ideally, schedule fall maintenance between mid-September and late October. This ensures:
- Enough time to address any repairs before cold sets in
- Availability before peak emergency service demand hits
- No delays due to part shortages or backlog
The best time to call? Right after Labor Day. Waiting until November often means longer lead times and higher risk of service disruptions.
Signs You Shouldn’t Wait Any Longer
If you’re noticing any of the following, get on the schedule sooner:
- Uneven temperature control between zones
- Noisy heating cycles or delayed startup
- Rising energy bills
- Musty or burning odors on startup
- The system hasn’t been serviced since last fall—or longer
