Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At West Jefferson Plumbing and Heating, Inc., 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.

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, brutal winter weather can put significant stress on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments annually will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance tune-ups are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians adequate time to make sure everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps 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 in good working order is vital. This reduces the risk of fires and maintains your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they happen. This type of proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for long-term efficiency.
