Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Heartland Heating & Cooling, 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 maintenance visit.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, 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. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each year will offer lasting results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance visits are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians the time they need to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are working correctly is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures smooth operation.

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