Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a good time of year to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At North Mechanical Heating and Cooling, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in optimal condition. It just so happens that this time of year is ideal for an HVAC maintenance visit.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, single-digit temperatures can put a lot of strain on important parts of the system. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

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 lasting 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 gives our technicians adequate time to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform 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 replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and avoids water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are in good working order is crucial. This avoids fires and preserves smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they arise. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for long-term efficiency.
