Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also the perfect time to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At JTech 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 take a look at your furnace. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put a lot of strain on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to see if your furnace needs some TLC.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each year will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance appointments are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians the time they need to verify that everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are working correctly is imperative. This helps prevent fires and maintains your system's reliability.

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