Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a great opportunity to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Air Service Co., our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. 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 a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, brutal winter weather can put a lot of strain on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs some TLC.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments every year will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance visits are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians plenty of time to verify that everything is in good condition. 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 essential, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This avoids fires and maintains your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they arise. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for maintaining peak condition.
