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 schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Tri City Fuel & Heating, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in optimal condition. It just so happens that this time of year can be a sweet spot 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, brutal winter weather can put considerable wear 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 some TLC.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance visits are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians plenty of time to ensure 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 critical, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This avoids fires and preserves smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they happen. This kind of proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for long-term efficiency.
