Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At J.L. Brady Company LLC, 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.

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, 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 determine whether your furnace needs a little extra attention.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments each year will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance appointments are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians plenty of time to ensure everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are working correctly is crucial. This helps prevent fires and maintains smooth operation.

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