Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Knoechel Heating, 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 a prime moment for an HVAC maintenance visit.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a tune-up.

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

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance tune-ups are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians adequate time to make sure everything is in good condition. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are in good working order is crucial. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures your system's reliability.

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