Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a good time of year to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Smyth Air Conditioning, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in excellent working order. 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 a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. 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 determine whether your furnace needs a little extra attention.
Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder 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 better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.
Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist
Routine maintenance tune-ups are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians adequate time to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:
- Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Maintaining 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 source of the leak.
- Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and avoids water damage.
- Checking electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This avoids fires and ensures your system's reliability.
The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they happen. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for peak performance.
