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

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, brutal winter weather can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Keeping up with 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 before the busy summer season. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments every year will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance appointments are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians plenty of time to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any 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 source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are working correctly is imperative. This avoids fires and maintains your system's reliability.

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