Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also a great opportunity to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At H&C Heating and 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 checkup appointment.

When You Should Schedule Routine 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. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to determine whether your furnace needs some TLC.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance visits are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians plenty of time to verify that everything is in working order. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they arise. This type of proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for peak performance.
