Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Stanford Heating & Cooling, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. It just so happens that this time of year can be a sweet spot for an HVAC maintenance visit.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, single-digit temperatures can put a lot of strain on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

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 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 appointments are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians the time they need to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing 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 refill the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and helps prevent water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This avoids fires and maintains smooth operation.

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