Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a good time of year to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Walter's-Eaton's Electric, Plumbing, Heating & AC, 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 ideal for an HVAC service call.

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, constant freezing temperatures can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a tune-up.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments every year will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance appointments are essential 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 tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and identify the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are in good working order is crucial. This avoids fires and ensures smooth operation.

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