Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a good time of year to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Assured Appliance & 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 can be a sweet spot for an HVAC checkup appointment.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put considerable wear on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a tune-up.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance visits are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians adequate time to ensure 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 replacing any lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means periodically cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system ensures 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 helps prevent fires and ensures your system's reliability.

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