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 checkup appointment.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks the end of the coldest part of winter, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, brutal winter weather can put significant stress on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to see 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, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each year will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance tune-ups are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians plenty of time to make sure everything is in good condition. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out 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 imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and maintains your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they arise. Such proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for peak performance.
