Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a good time of year to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Connolly Electric & Mechanical, 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 is a prime moment 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 check your heating system. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a tune-up.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments annually will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance appointments are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians the time they need to ensure everything is in working order. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and avoids water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are working correctly is crucial. This helps prevent fires and preserves smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they occur. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the best chance for peak performance.
