Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also the perfect time to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Northern Comfort Inc, 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 maintenance visit.

When You Should Schedule Routine 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, constant freezing temperatures can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to determine whether 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, scheduling two maintenance appointments every year will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance appointments are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians plenty of time to ensure everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and preserves your system's reliability.

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