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 request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Rescue Heating & Air, 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 service call.

When You Should Schedule Routine 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, constant freezing temperatures can put a lot of strain on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs some TLC.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments each year will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance visits are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians plenty of time to make sure everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete 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 switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are in good working order is imperative. This avoids fires and ensures your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they arise. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the best chance for peak performance.
