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 schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Controlled Comfort HVAC, 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 a prime moment for an HVAC maintenance visit.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, brutal winter weather can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to see if 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, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each year will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance tune-ups are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians the time they need 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 replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill 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.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are working correctly is crucial. This avoids fires and preserves smooth operation.

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