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 request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At GV Heating & Air, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. It just so happens that this time of year can be a sweet spot for an HVAC service call.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the end of the coldest part of winter, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each year will offer lasting results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance tune-ups are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians plenty of time to make sure everything is in working order. During a visit, 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 switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are working correctly is vital. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures smooth operation.

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