Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a great opportunity to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Air Commander's Heating & Air Conditioning Co., our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. It just so happens that this time of year can be a sweet spot for an HVAC checkup appointment.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress 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 tune-up.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments every year will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance tune-ups are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians the time they need to make sure everything is in good condition. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means periodically cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and avoids water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are working correctly is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they happen. This type of proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for peak performance.
