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 request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Herman Allen Plumbing, 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 ideal for an HVAC checkup appointment.

Optimal Timing for Your 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, single-digit temperatures can put a lot of strain on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs some TLC.

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 annually will offer lasting results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance visits are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians plenty of time 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 replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are in good working order is imperative. This avoids fires and maintains smooth operation.

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