Preparing Your Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Systems for the Seasonal Change
Why March Is a Key Month for System Performance
March marks a shift. Temperatures become less extreme, daylight increases, and businesses begin transitioning from winter heating demands towards spring operation.
For air conditioning and refrigeration systems, this change in season is critical. Systems that have worked hard throughout winter now need to be assessed, serviced, and optimised to ensure they’re ready for the months ahead.
Air Conditioning After Winter Use
During winter, many commercial air conditioning systems operate in heating mode for extended periods. While modern systems are designed for this, prolonged use can lead to:
- Increased wear on components
- Dirty filters and reduced airflow
- Settings left in heating mode when no longer required
- Reduced efficiency if servicing has been missed
March is the ideal time to review system performance, reset controls, and ensure everything is operating as intended.
Refrigeration: Consistency Still Matters
Although external temperatures may rise slightly, refrigeration systems still need to maintain stable internal conditions.
Seasonal changes can cause:
- Fluctuating ambient temperatures around plant
- Increased risk of condensation
- Early signs of component fatigue after winter
A planned service in March helps identify issues before they escalate into failures later in the year.
Why Planned Maintenance Pays Off
Proactive maintenance at this time of year helps you:
✔ Improve energy efficiency
✔ Reduce the likelihood of in-season breakdowns
✔ Maintain compliance and documentation
✔ Extend equipment lifespan
Rather than reacting to faults, a planned approach keeps systems reliable and predictable.
