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 request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Ilten's, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in optimal condition. It just so happens that this time of year is ideal for an HVAC checkup appointment.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks the end of the coldest part of winter, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, single-digit temperatures can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance appointments are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians the time they need to make sure everything is in tip-top shape. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they occur. This kind of proactive service from our professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the best chance for peak performance.
