Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; 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 top shape. It just so happens that this time of year is ideal 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 take a look at your furnace. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put a lot of strain on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to see 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, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance tune-ups are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians adequate 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 key, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and helps prevent water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are in good working order is crucial. This avoids fires and maintains smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they happen. This kind of proactive service from experienced professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the best chance for peak performance.
