Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a great opportunity 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 top shape. It just so happens that this time of year is a prime moment for an HVAC checkup appointment.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician 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 better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance appointments are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians adequate time to make sure everything is in good condition. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This reduces the risk of fires and preserves smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they happen. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the best chance for peak performance.
