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 schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At May's Heating & Air, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. It just so happens that this time of year can be a sweet spot 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, brutal winter weather can put a lot of strain on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to see if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. 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.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance visits are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians adequate time to ensure 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 replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and helps prevent water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are in good working order is vital. This avoids fires and preserves smooth operation.

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