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 Age Heating & Cooling, 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 a prime moment for an HVAC maintenance visit.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put a lot of strain on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments each year will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance appointments are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians the time they need to ensure everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

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

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