Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also a great opportunity to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Appalachian Heating, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in optimal condition. 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, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Keeping up with 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 the busy summer season. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each year will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance visits are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians adequate time to make sure everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll refill 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.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are in good working order is imperative. This avoids fires and ensures smooth operation.

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 optimal opportunity for maintaining peak condition.
