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 great opportunity to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Vogts Heating & Air, 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.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

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 a lot of strain on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments every year will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance visits are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians plenty of time to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and identify the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This helps prevent fires and ensures your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they arise. This type of proactive service from experienced professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for long-term efficiency.
