Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Appalachian Heating, 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 service call.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Scheduling 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 temperatures start to rise. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments annually will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance tune-ups are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians the time they need to verify that everything is in working order. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out 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 lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This reduces the risk of fires and maintains your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they occur. Such proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the best chance for peak performance.
