Hosts: Tim Hill and Matt Risinger

In this episode of Work In Process, Tim Hill and Matt Risinger explore the unique challenges that spring and fall—known as the “shoulder seasons”—place on our homes. While temperatures may feel mild, these in-between seasons introduce a different kind of stress on indoor air quality, humidity control, and overall building performance.

The conversation breaks down how reduced HVAC runtime can lead to less effective filtration and dehumidification, why allergens and pollen become more noticeable, and how both older and newer homes respond differently to these conditions. Tim and Matt also share practical insights on managing moisture, improving ventilation, and maintaining a healthy indoor environment during times when systems aren’t working as hard—but still matter just as much.

From simple maintenance routines to deeper considerations around airtightness and mechanical design, this episode highlights how small seasonal shifts can reveal bigger truths about how a home performs.

Ultimately, it’s a reminder that great homes aren’t just built for extremes—they’re designed to perform well in the in-between.
