Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a good time of year to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Forster Heating, 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. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments annually will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance appointments are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians the time they need to ensure everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and identify the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and helps prevent water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are in good working order is vital. This reduces the risk of fires and preserves your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they happen. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for long-term efficiency.
