Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Alpine Summit Heating & Cooling, 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.

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 considerable wear on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a little extra attention.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments annually 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 efficiently for many years. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians the time they need to make sure everything is in working order. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures your system's reliability.

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