Dykstra Home Services provides guidance in dealing with spring/summer heat
Rich Dykstra Sr., senior vice president of Operations for Dykstra Home Services in Crestwood, has been working in the heating and air conditioning industry for more than 50 years.
It’s safe to say he’s seen just about everything, though everyone knows you can never predict the weather — or when a home’s heating or cooling equipment may go down and need immediate repair.
One thing Dykstra says is completely predictable is the arrival of spring and summer heat and the demands that arise for home system maintenance and the inevitable costs when yearly HVAC maintenance is put off for too long.
Don’t wait for hot weather
When it comes to HVAC equipment, Dykstra says, it is important for homeowners to be prepared for the changing seasonal temps that go from winter’s harsh cold to the heat of spring and summer. “The biggest problems that we see surface in the early summer, when it gets hot, and homeowners try to turn their air conditioning on for the first time and it doesn’t work,” he says.
If homeowners wait until they actually need the air conditioning — and there is a problem — it may be tough to get into the home and address the repair as quickly as the homeowner would like. Dykstra says it’s a problem that is completely avoidable with some maintenance planning.
“The biggest mistake homeowners make is they do not schedule their spring check-ups in time,” Dykstra says. “If (homeowners) do not schedule their spring system check-ups in time and wait until it’s hot, it can be hard to get same-day service,” says Dykstra. “We are already booking seasonal calls for April maintenance.”

Once the season’s heat arrives, one of the easiest things you can do to be prepared to turn on the air conditioning is to change the air filter, says Dykstra. “The next best thing is to schedule your spring maintenance before there is a potential problem.”

Next to experienced, professional service, Dykstra says the equipment is a big part of reliability. “Carrier has always been a leader in the industry with their Infinity Series equipment,” he says. “For that reason, we have always handled Carrier.
