The so-called shoulder season is often a difficult time for HVAC contractors. The waning weeks of March and the first days of April, as well as parts of fall, often result in slow business for contractors as consumers don’t have to deal with the immediate repairs and replacements brought on by the extreme cold of winter, nor the scorching heat of summer.
As the busy season fades into the rearview mirror and the spring shoulder season begins, the Weather Channel’s forecast models show “below-average temperatures persisting in March and April for the southeast and south-central regions of the U.S. However, there are indications the northeast and north-central sections of the country will see a trend toward above-average temperatures beginning in March and continuing into April.”
