The holiday season in Quebec brings joyful gatherings, freezing temperatures, and a heavy workload for your HVAC system. Whether you’re hosting family in Montreal or welcoming friends in Laval, the last thing you want is a furnace breakdown or uneven heating. At Electro Pompe Air Conditioning & Heating, we help homeowners stay warm, safe, and energy efficient with professional HVAC services designed for our climate. This holiday HVAC reliability checklist will help you protect your comfort, lower costs, and avoid emergency calls when you need your system most.
Why Holiday HVAC Preparation Matters
Cold snaps, increased indoor activity, and longer run times put extra stress on your heating equipment. Small issues that go unnoticed in fall can quickly turn into major failures during the holidays. A simple seasonal check can:
Prevent unexpected system shutdowns
Improve heating efficiency and indoor comfort
Reduce energy bills during peak winter usage
Extend the lifespan of your furnace or heat pump
Electro Pompe’s technicians understand how Montreal and Laval winters affect HVAC performance, and we tailor every service to local weather demands.
Step 1: Inspect and Replace Air Filters
Dirty filters restrict airflow and force your system to work harder, increasing energy use and wear. Replace or clean filters every 30 to 60 days during winter. This simple step improves air quality, protects your equipment, and supports consistent heating throughout your home.
Step 2: Test Your Heating System Early
Before holiday guests arrive, run your furnace or heat pump for a full heating cycle. Listen for unusual sounds, note uneven temperatures, and check that warm air is delivered to every room. If something feels off, early diagnostics can prevent emergency breakdowns.
Our team provides full furnace diagnostics, tune-ups, and repairs, as well as heat pump servicing and performance testing.
Step 3: Check Thermostat Accuracy
An outdated or poorly calibrated thermostat can waste energy and cause temperature swings. Consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat to maintain comfort while reducing costs. Even lowering the temperature slightly when you’re away can save on winter energy bills.
Step 4: Inspect Outdoor Units
For heat pumps and central air systems, ensure outdoor units are clear of snow, ice, and debris. Blocked airflow can reduce efficiency and damage components. Gently clear around the unit after heavy snowfall and avoid using sharp tools that could cause harm.
Step 5: Seal and Insulate
Heat loss through windows, doors, and poorly insulated areas makes your HVAC system work overtime. Use weather stripping, seal drafts, and close unused vents to keep warm air inside. These small adjustments can significantly reduce heating costs during the holidays.
Step 6: Schedule Preventive Maintenance
Professional maintenance is the most effective way to avoid mid-winter failures. Electro Pompe offers complete HVAC inspections, furnace tune-ups, heat pump servicing, and system performance testing. We also provide free estimates, so you know exactly what to expect.
