Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Temperature Doctors Heating & Cooling, 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 a prime moment for an HVAC checkup appointment.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a tune-up.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments every year will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance appointments are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians adequate time to ensure everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and avoids water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are in good working order is vital. This reduces the risk of fires and maintains smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they occur. This type of proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the best chance for long-term efficiency.
