Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Air Commander's Heating & Air Conditioning Co., 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 service call.

Optimal Timing for Your 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 a lot of strain on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional 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, sticking with two maintenance appointments each year will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance appointments are vital 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 tip-top shape. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are in good working order is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and maintains your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they happen. This type of proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for maintaining peak condition.
