Is Your Building Ready for Spring and Summer? Time to Check Your Cooling System

McCormick Allum • April 18, 2025

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.


What We Offer for Commercial Cooling


McCormick Allum provides complete commercial air conditioning services across Western Massachusetts. Our team helps you choose the right system, installs it properly, and provides the support needed to keep it running at its best.

Every building is different. We take the time to evaluate your space and recommend the best solution for your business.


Stay Cool and Avoid Unplanned Downtime


A reliable cooling system improves indoor comfort, helps protect technology and equipment, and keeps your energy usage in check. When you plan ahead, you reduce the chances of needing emergency repairs during the busiest time of year.


Proper preparation now means your system will be ready to handle the demands of summer without stress. That peace of mind lets you focus on running your business, not fixing your air conditioning.
