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 Tri City Fuel & Heating, 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 ideal 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 key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a tune-up.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments each year will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

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 verify that everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are working correctly is imperative. This helps prevent fires and ensures your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they occur. Such proactive service from our professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the best chance for maintaining peak condition.
