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 good time of year to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At The Chilly Pig, 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 checkup appointment.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the end of the coldest part of winter, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress 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 little extra attention.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments every year will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance visits are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians plenty of time to ensure everything is in tip-top shape. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are working correctly is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures your system's reliability.

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