Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a great opportunity 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 can be a sweet spot for an HVAC checkup appointment.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

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 a lot of strain on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a tune-up.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance tune-ups are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians plenty of time to verify that everything is in working order. During a visit, 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 key, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This avoids fires and maintains smooth operation.

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