Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Stanford 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 is ideal for an HVAC service call.

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, brutal winter weather can put a lot of strain on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a little extra attention.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments each year will offer lasting results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance visits are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians plenty of time to make sure everything is in good condition. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are in good working order is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and preserves your system's reliability.

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