Switching from AC to Heat: What Homeowners Should Know

As cooler mornings start rolling in, many Eugene homeowners are preparing to switch their HVAC systems from cooling to heating. This seasonal transition is more than just flipping a switch on the thermostat—it’s a critical time to ensure your heating system is ready for reliable and efficient performance. At Associated Heating and Air Conditioning, we recommend scheduling professional heating maintenance before the cold weather settles in.

Why the Transition Matters

Your air conditioner has carried your home through the summer, and now your furnace or heat pump needs to take over. After months of sitting idle, heating equipment often needs inspection and service to operate safely and effectively. Dust, wear on components, and minor issues can turn into bigger problems if not addressed before the heating season begins. Making the transition with maintenance ensures your system is ready when you need it most.

The Importance of Professional Heating Maintenance

Heating maintenance is not just about comfort—it’s about safety and long-term savings. A professional tune-up from Associated Heating and Air Conditioning includes cleaning, testing, and adjusting your system to maximize performance. Benefits include:

  • Lower monthly energy bills from improved efficiency
  • Fewer unexpected breakdowns during peak heating demand
  • Safer operation with checks for gas leaks and electrical hazards
  • Extended system lifespan with less wear and tear
  • Consistent comfort across every room of your home

By scheduling service before winter arrives, you avoid the rush of emergency calls and enjoy peace of mind all season long.

The A+ Club Maintenance Plan

For homeowners who want even more protection and convenience, our A+ Club Maintenance Plan provides unmatched value. Membership includes:

  • Front-of-the-line service during peak seasons
  • Faster response times during emergencies
  • Convenient appointment windows designed for your schedule
  • Reduced pricing on all repairs to keep costs manageable
  • Exclusive promotions on system upgrades
  • Long-term savings on energy-efficient equipment

With the A+ Club, you’ll never have to worry about missing essential maintenance or overpaying for repairs. It’s the smart choice for homeowners who want year-round peace of mind.

What to Watch For During the Switch

Even with maintenance, it’s important to pay attention to how your system performs when you first turn on the heat. Signs that you may need professional service include:

  • Strange noises such as rattling, squealing, or banging
  • Weak airflow or uneven heating across your home
  • Unusual odors when the system starts up
  • Higher-than-expected utility bills
  • Frequent cycling on and off

If you notice any of these issues, our team is ready to respond quickly and get your system back on track.
