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 good time of year to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At E.B. Air, 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 checkup appointment.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, brutal winter weather can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Scheduling 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 the busy summer season. 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 fall.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance tune-ups are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians plenty of time to verify that everything is in good condition. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are in good working order is imperative. 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. This kind of proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for peak performance.
