Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a great opportunity to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At NW Power & Air, 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 can be a sweet spot for an HVAC maintenance visit.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

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, brutal winter weather can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs some TLC.

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 each 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 plenty of time to make sure 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 replenishing lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This helps prevent fires and ensures your system's reliability.

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