Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At McFadden Heating & Cooling, 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 checkup appointment.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the end of the coldest part of winter, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put considerable wear on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to see if your furnace needs a tune-up.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments annually will offer lasting results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance visits are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians adequate time to verify that 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: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means periodically cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are in good working order is imperative. This avoids fires and maintains your system's reliability.

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