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 perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At TopTec, 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 take a look at your furnace. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a tune-up.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments every year will offer lasting results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance appointments are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians plenty of time to ensure everything is in good condition. On a service call, 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 periodically cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and identify the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are working correctly is vital. This avoids fires and preserves your system's reliability.

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