Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Enertek Air Conditioning & 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 can be a sweet spot for an HVAC checkup appointment.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

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 considerable wear on important parts of the system. Scheduling 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 before temperatures start to rise. In fact, sticking with 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 tune-ups are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A thorough inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians plenty of time to ensure everything is in working order. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and find 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 in good working order is imperative. This avoids fires and maintains your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they arise. Such proactive service from our professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for long-term efficiency.
