Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Stephen Hurst Pack Heating and Cooling, 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 maintenance visit.

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 check your heating system. For example, brutal winter weather can put significant stress on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments every year will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance tune-ups are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians adequate time to make sure 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: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This helps prevent fires and preserves smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they happen. This type of proactive service from experienced professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for maintaining peak condition.
