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 great opportunity to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Pepper AC & Heat, 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 a prime moment for an HVAC service call.

Optimal Timing for Your 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, single-digit temperatures can put considerable wear on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a tune-up.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments annually 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 visits are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians the time they need to verify that everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and avoids water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This avoids fires and maintains your system's reliability.

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