Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Service Max Heating & 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.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

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, constant freezing temperatures can put significant stress on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to see if your furnace needs some TLC.

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

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance visits are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians the time they need to ensure everything is in good condition. On a service call, 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 leaked refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This helps prevent fires and preserves smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they arise. This kind of proactive service from our professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for long-term efficiency.
