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 request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Phelps Heating & Cooling, Inc., 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 is a prime moment for an HVAC maintenance visit.

Optimal Timing for Your 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, brutal winter weather can put a lot of strain on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments every year will offer lasting results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance visits are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians the time they need to ensure everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • 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 working correctly is vital. This avoids fires and maintains smooth operation.

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