Question 4

How often should I service my HVAC system in Pittsford's climate?

Accepted Answer

Rochester receives intense lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario — averaging over 100 inches annually — making it one of the snowiest large cities in the US. Summers are cool (82°F highs) with only 8 days above 90°F, while winters are long and cold with January lows of 18°F and a heating season stretching from October through April. The 70% summer humidity means AC systems must manage latent loads even during the relatively brief cooling season. 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 Pittsford contractors offer annual maintenance plans that bundle both visits at a discount.
