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 request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Home Comfort Heating & Air, 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.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put a lot of strain on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a little extra attention.

A checkup at 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 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 efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians plenty of time to make sure everything is in tip-top shape. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and avoids water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are working correctly is crucial. This avoids fires and maintains smooth operation.

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