Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a great opportunity to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Forster Heating, 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 checkup appointment.

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, constant freezing temperatures can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to see if your furnace needs some TLC.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, sticking with 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 tune-ups 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 verify that everything is in good condition. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are in good working order is vital. This reduces the risk of fires and maintains smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they arise. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for peak performance.
