Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup 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 can be a sweet spot for an HVAC checkup appointment.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put significant stress on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs some TLC.

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

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance appointments are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians plenty of time to ensure 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 replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and find 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.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This reduces the risk of fires and maintains smooth operation.

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