Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Forster Heating, 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 a prime moment for an HVAC maintenance visit.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks the end of the coldest part of winter, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, single-digit temperatures can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to determine whether your furnace needs some TLC.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments each year will offer better results. One should be before spring 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 thorough inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians plenty of time to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means a consistent schedule of 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: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are working correctly is imperative. This helps prevent fires and preserves your system's reliability.

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