Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Northwest Services, 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 ideal for an HVAC maintenance visit.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, brutal winter weather can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

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

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance tune-ups are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians the time they need to make sure everything is in tip-top shape. On a service call, 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 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 identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they happen. This kind of proactive service from experienced professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for long-term efficiency.
