Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Olde Towne Heating & Air, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in optimal condition. It just so happens that this time of year is a prime moment for an HVAC checkup appointment.

When You Should Schedule Routine 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 significant stress on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to see if your furnace needs a tune-up.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments annually will offer lasting results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance visits are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A thorough inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians plenty of time to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and avoids water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are in good working order is crucial. This avoids fires and maintains your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they happen. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for long-term efficiency.
