When GTA’s summer heat waves hit, your air conditioning system becomes your home’s MVP. But extreme temperatures can push HVAC systems to their limits, leading to higher energy bills, unexpected breakdowns, and uncomfortable indoor conditions. At Glors Heating & Air Conditioning, we want to help you keep your system running smoothly—no matter how hot it gets.
1. Why Heat Waves Stress Your HVAC System
When outdoor temperatures soar above the seasonal average, your AC has to work harder to maintain your desired indoor comfort level. This constant strain can lead to:
2. Overheating Components – Motors, compressors, and capacitors can overwork and overheat.
3. Frozen Coils – Ironically, too much strain can cause cooling coils to freeze, reducing efficiency.
4. Reduced Airflow – Filters clog faster, making your AC work even harder.
5. Tips to Reduce HVAC Strain During Extreme Heat
Schedule a Pre-Summer Maintenance Check
Preventative care is the best defense. Our professional tune-ups ensure your system is clean, lubricated, and ready to handle the heat.
6. Change Filters Regularly
In GTA’s dusty summer conditions, filters can clog quickly. Check them every 30 days and replace when necessary.
7. Set a Realistic Thermostat Temperature
Instead of setting your AC to 18°C, aim for 23–25°C. This reduces strain and energy consumption.
8. Use Ceiling Fans to Assist Cooling
Fans circulate the cooled air, making your home feel more comfortable without overworking your AC.
9. Block Out the Sun
Close blinds or use thermal curtains during peak sunlight hours to reduce indoor heat gain.
