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 schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Alpine Summit Heating & Cooling, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in optimal condition. It just so happens that this time of year is ideal 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, constant freezing temperatures can put a lot of strain on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a tune-up.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments every year will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance tune-ups are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians adequate time to verify that everything is in working order. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This helps prevent fires and preserves smooth operation.

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