Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Strine's, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in excellent working order. It just so happens that this time of year is a prime moment 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 check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments each year will offer lasting results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance visits are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians adequate time to verify that everything is in working order. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are working correctly is vital. This reduces the risk of fires and maintains smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they arise. This type of proactive service from experienced professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the best chance for maintaining peak condition.
