Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also a great opportunity to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Fire & Ice HVAC, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. It just so happens that this time of year is a prime moment for an HVAC service call.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put considerable wear on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs some TLC.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments annually will offer lasting results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance appointments are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians the time they need to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out 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 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 helps prevent water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are working correctly is imperative. This avoids fires and maintains your system's reliability.

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