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 Van Haaften Plumbing & Heating, 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 checkup appointment.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, constant freezing 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 determine whether your furnace needs some TLC.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments every year will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance tune-ups are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians adequate time to ensure everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This avoids fires and ensures your system's reliability.

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