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 perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Kohles & Bach Heating & Cooling, 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 is a prime moment for an HVAC service call.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a tune-up.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling 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 visits are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians plenty of time to verify that everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are working correctly is crucial. This avoids fires and ensures your system's reliability.

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