Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Temperature Doctors Heating & Cooling, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. It just so happens that this time of year is a prime moment for an HVAC checkup appointment.

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 take a look at your furnace. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments each year will offer lasting results. One should be before spring 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 comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians plenty of time to ensure everything is in working order. During a visit, 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 essential, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are in good working order is crucial. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they happen. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for maintaining peak condition.
