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 perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Herman Allen Plumbing, 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 ideal for an HVAC service call.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

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, single-digit temperatures can put considerable wear on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a tune-up.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments each 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 tune-ups are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians the time they need to verify that everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means periodically cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This avoids fires and ensures your system's reliability.

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