Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a great opportunity to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Point Heating & Cooling, 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 a prime moment for an HVAC checkup appointment.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, brutal winter weather can put a lot of strain on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments every year will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance visits are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians adequate time to make sure everything is in good condition. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This avoids fires and preserves smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they arise. Such proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for long-term efficiency.
