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 schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Olde Towne 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 checkup appointment.

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, brutal winter weather can put considerable wear on important parts of the system. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to see if your furnace needs some TLC.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance appointments are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians adequate time to verify that everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means periodically 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: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and helps prevent water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are working correctly is vital. This helps prevent fires and maintains smooth operation.

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