Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a great opportunity to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Assured Appliance & 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 can be a sweet spot for an HVAC service call.

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 check your heating system. For example, brutal winter weather can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments each year will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance tune-ups are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians adequate time to verify that everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and locate 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.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This reduces the risk of fires and preserves smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they occur. This kind of proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for peak performance.
