Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a good time of year to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At B & G HVAC, 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 service call.

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, single-digit temperatures can put a lot of strain on key furnace components. 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, sticking with two maintenance appointments every year will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance appointments are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians the time they need to make sure everything is in tip-top shape. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are in good working order is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures smooth operation.

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