Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Lanz Furnace and Fireplace, 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 a prime moment for an HVAC checkup appointment.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, single-digit temperatures can put a lot of strain on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs some TLC.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each year 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 crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians adequate time to make sure everything is in tip-top shape. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and locate 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: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This helps prevent fires and preserves smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they arise. This type of proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for peak performance.
