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 perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Farnell Mechanical, Inc., 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.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress 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 a little extra attention.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments every year will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance visits are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians plenty of time to make sure everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Ensuring the right 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 find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This helps prevent fires and ensures smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they occur. This kind of proactive service from our professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for maintaining peak condition.
