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 perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Stanford 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 is a prime moment for an HVAC checkup appointment.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, 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 important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to see 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 every year will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance visits are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians the time they need to make sure everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means a consistent schedule of 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 flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This avoids fires and preserves your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they occur. This type of proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the best chance for long-term efficiency.
