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 schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Bain Heating & Air Conditioning, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. It just so happens that this time of year is a prime moment for an HVAC checkup appointment.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, brutal winter weather can put significant stress on key furnace components. 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 the busy summer season. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each year will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance tune-ups are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians adequate time to make sure 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: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and helps prevent water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This avoids fires and ensures smooth operation.

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