Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Precision Mechanical, 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 ideal for an HVAC service call.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks the end of the coldest part of winter, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put significant stress on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance appointments are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A thorough inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians the time they need to verify that everything is in good condition. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means periodically cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are in good working order is imperative. This helps prevent fires and ensures your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they arise. This type of proactive service from experienced professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for long-term efficiency.
