Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At HCE Systems, 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 can be a sweet spot for an HVAC service call.

Optimal Timing for Your 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, single-digit temperatures can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a tune-up.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments every year will offer lasting results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance appointments are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians adequate time to ensure everything is in good condition. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means periodically cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are working correctly is crucial. This helps prevent fires and preserves smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they arise. This type of proactive service from our professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for maintaining peak condition.
