Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At GLR 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, brutal winter weather can put significant stress on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a tune-up.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments every year will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance visits are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians the time they need to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. 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 restore the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are in good working order is vital. This helps prevent fires and preserves smooth operation.

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