Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a good time of year to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Mountain Air, 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 checkup appointment.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, 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. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a tune-up.

Scheduling maintenance around 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 lasting results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance tune-ups are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians plenty of time to make sure everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system keeps 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 your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they happen. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for long-term efficiency.
