Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Ilten's, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in optimal condition. It just so happens that this time of year is a prime moment for an HVAC maintenance visit.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

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 a lot of strain on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to see 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, sticking with two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

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 gives our technicians plenty of time to ensure 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: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and identify the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and preserves your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they arise. This type of proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for maintaining peak condition.
