Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Anderson Heating & A/C, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in optimal condition. It just so happens that this time of year is a prime moment for an HVAC checkup appointment.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Scheduling maintenance around 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 better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

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 comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians adequate time to verify that everything is in good condition. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete 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 find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and avoids water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are working correctly is vital. This avoids fires and preserves smooth operation.

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