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 Farris Heating & Air, 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 the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, brutal winter weather can put significant stress on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a tune-up.

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

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance visits are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians adequate time to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are in good working order is crucial. This helps prevent fires and preserves smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they happen. This kind of proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the best chance for peak performance.
