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 schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Wallpe Heating & 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 is ideal for an HVAC service call.

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 important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to see 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, scheduling two maintenance appointments annually will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance visits are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians adequate time to make sure everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and avoids water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This helps prevent fires and ensures smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they happen. This type of proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the best chance for long-term efficiency.
