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 schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Northwest Services, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. It just so happens that this time of year is a prime moment for an HVAC service call.

Optimal Timing for Your 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 considerable wear on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance tune-ups are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians the time they need to make sure everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This helps prevent 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 experienced professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for long-term efficiency.
