Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also a great opportunity to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Walter's-Eaton's Electric, Plumbing, Heating & AC, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. 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 take a look at your furnace. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put a lot of strain on important parts of the system. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs some TLC.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments every year will offer lasting results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance visits are vital 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 good condition. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means periodically 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 ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This helps prevent fires and ensures your system's reliability.

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