Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year 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 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 take a look at your furnace. For example, single-digit temperatures can put a lot of strain on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a little extra attention.

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

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance visits are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A thorough inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians plenty of time to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are working correctly is imperative. This avoids fires and ensures your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they occur. This type of proactive service from our professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the best chance for peak performance.
