Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Air-Right Energy Design, 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.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

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 key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs some TLC.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each year will offer better 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 efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians adequate 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: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of 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 preserves your system's reliability.

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