Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also the perfect time to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Struven Heating & Cooling, 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 ideal for an HVAC service call.
The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service
As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put a lot of strain on important parts of the system. Keeping up with 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 before the busy summer season. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments every year will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.
Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup
Routine maintenance tune-ups are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians adequate time to make sure 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: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and identify the source of the leak.
- Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and avoids water damage.
- Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are in good working order is imperative. This avoids fires and maintains your system's reliability.
The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they arise. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the best chance for long-term efficiency.
