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 good time of year to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At North Mechanical Heating and Cooling, 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 checkup appointment.

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, brutal winter weather can put considerable wear on important parts of the system. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments each year will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance tune-ups are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians the time they need to make sure everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, 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 a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are working correctly is vital. This reduces the risk of fires and preserves your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they happen. This type of proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for peak performance.
