Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year 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 top shape. It just so happens that this time of year is ideal for an HVAC service call.

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 see if your furnace needs a tune-up.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments each year will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance visits are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians plenty of time to make sure everything is in working order. On a service call, 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 critical, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and avoids water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are working correctly is vital. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures your system's reliability.

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