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 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 optimal condition. It just so happens that this time of year is ideal for an HVAC checkup appointment.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, brutal winter weather can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician 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 temperatures start to rise. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance tune-ups are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians the time they need to ensure everything is in tip-top shape. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures 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 crucial. This reduces the risk of fires and maintains 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 greatest potential for peak performance.
