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 perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Air Current AC & Heat, 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 ideal for an HVAC service call.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the end of the coldest part of winter, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, brutal winter weather can put significant stress on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a tune-up.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments annually will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance appointments are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians plenty of time to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and avoids water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This avoids fires and maintains your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they arise. This type of proactive service from our professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the best chance for maintaining peak condition.
