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 Kirkfield Heating & Air Conditioning, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in optimal condition. It just so happens that this time of year can be a sweet spot for an HVAC checkup appointment.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put considerable wear on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to see if your furnace needs a tune-up.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance appointments are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. 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 carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means periodically cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any 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.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are working correctly is imperative. This helps prevent fires and preserves your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they arise. Such proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for peak performance.
