Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At ACS Heating and Air Conditioning, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in optimal condition. It just so happens that this time of year can be a sweet spot for an HVAC service call.

When You Should Schedule Routine 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 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.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best 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 thorough inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians adequate time to ensure everything is in good condition. 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 a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This reduces the risk of fires and preserves smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they occur. Such proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for peak performance.
