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 Dearing's Service & Solutions, 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 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, single-digit temperatures can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a tune-up.

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 annually 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 crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians the time they need to make sure everything is in tip-top shape. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing 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—preventing problems before they happen. This kind of proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the best chance for peak performance.
