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 AC Sales, 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 maintenance visit.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, brutal winter weather can put a lot of strain on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs some TLC.

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

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance visits are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians adequate time to make sure 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 replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they happen. This type of proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the best chance for long-term efficiency.
