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 Arizona Comfort Systems, 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 ideal for an HVAC checkup appointment.

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. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to see if your furnace needs some TLC.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments each year will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance visits are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians the time they need to ensure everything is in good condition. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and identify the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are working correctly is imperative. This helps prevent fires and maintains smooth operation.

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