Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a great opportunity to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Gopher Heating and 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.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks the end of the coldest part of winter, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a tune-up.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments each year will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance appointments 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. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform 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 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 helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing 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—stopping problems before they happen. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the best chance for long-term efficiency.
