Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a great opportunity to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At 1st Choice Heating & Air Conditioning, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in excellent working order. It just so happens that this time of year can be a sweet spot for an HVAC maintenance visit.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put a lot of strain on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to see 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, scheduling two maintenance appointments every year will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance appointments are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians adequate time to ensure everything is in good condition. 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 essential, which means periodically 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: Flushing out the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures your system's reliability.

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