Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a great opportunity to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Pepper AC & Heat, 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 the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs some TLC.

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 lasting results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance visits are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians the time they need to ensure everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This helps prevent fires and ensures your system's reliability.

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