Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a great opportunity to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Better 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 can be a sweet spot for an HVAC maintenance visit.
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, single-digit temperatures can put a lot of strain on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a little extra attention.
Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each year will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.
Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist
Routine maintenance visits are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians plenty of time to ensure 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 key, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the 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 keeps things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
- Checking electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and preserves your system's reliability.
The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they occur. This kind of proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the best chance for peak performance.
