Is Your Building Ready for Spring and Summer? Time to Check Your Cooling System
As the weather warms up in Massachusetts, now is a good time to check if your building’s cooling system is ready for the season ahead. A sudden heatwave can cause problems for businesses that haven’t prepared their air conditioning systems in advance. Whether you manage an office, retail space, or industrial facility, making sure your system is running well helps maintain comfort, control energy costs, and avoid disruptions.
At McCormick Allum, we’ve been helping businesses stay cool since 1888. Our experience and service-first approach make us a trusted partner for commercial cooling solutions across the region.
Why Spring Is the Right Time for Cooling System Prep

Early spring is a great time to schedule AC service or installation. The weather is still mild, which means your system is not yet under heavy demand. This gives our team time to inspect, clean, or replace equipment without interrupting your daily operations.
It’s also easier to schedule service before the busiest months hit. By taking action early, you avoid long wait times and get ahead of any potential breakdowns.
Signs Your Cooling System May Need Service
If you’re unsure about the condition of your air conditioning system, keep an eye out for the following signs:
- Uneven temperatures in different parts of the building
- A noticeable increase in energy bills
- Strange sounds or smells when the system turns on
- The unit cycles on and off frequently
- The system is more than ten years old
Any of these signs may indicate the need for a maintenance visit or a system replacement. Ignoring them now can lead to unexpected repairs when you need cooling the most.
