Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a good time of year to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At ACS Heating and Air Conditioning, 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 can be a sweet spot for an HVAC service call.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks the end of the coldest part of winter, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

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

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance tune-ups are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians adequate time to verify that everything is in working order. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are in good working order is vital. This avoids fires and maintains smooth operation.

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