Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a great opportunity to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At , our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in excellent working order. It just so happens that this time of year is a prime moment for an HVAC maintenance visit.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the end of the coldest part of winter, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs some TLC.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments each year will offer lasting results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance visits are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians plenty of time to ensure everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and locate the problem.

  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and helps prevent water damage.

  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are in good working order is imperative. This avoids fires and maintains smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they occur. Such proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for maintaining peak condition.
