Question 4

How often should I service my HVAC system in March Air Reserve Base's climate?

Accepted Answer

Riverside sits in the heart of the Inland Empire, shielded from the Pacific marine layer that tempers coastal SoCal. Summer highs regularly hit 97°F with 85+ days above 90°F and 20+ days cracking 100°F — far more extreme than Los Angeles or Orange County. Dry desert air (28% summer humidity) keeps cooling efficient but demands reliable high-capacity systems. Winters are mild (37°F lows) but cool enough to require reliable heating from November through February. Most HVAC manufacturers recommend twice-yearly tune-ups — a cooling check in spring and a heating check in fall — to maintain efficiency and warranty coverage. Many March Air Reserve Base contractors offer annual maintenance plans that bundle both visits at a discount.
