Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a great opportunity to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Ameri-Tec, 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 maintenance visit.

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, brutal winter weather can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to determine whether your furnace needs some TLC.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each year will offer lasting results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance visits 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 good condition. On a service call, 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 critical, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This avoids fires and preserves your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they occur. Such proactive service from our professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for long-term efficiency.
