Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Interstate Heating & Air Conditioning, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in optimal condition. It just so happens that this time of year can be a sweet spot for an HVAC service call.

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 take a look at your furnace. For example, brutal winter weather can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide 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, sticking with two maintenance appointments every year will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance visits are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine allows 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 regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are in good working order is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and maintains smooth operation.

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