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 perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Scott Temperature, 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 service call.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

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, constant freezing temperatures can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day 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.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance tune-ups are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians adequate time to verify that everything is in working order. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and avoids water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are working correctly is crucial. This helps prevent fires and preserves smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they arise. This type of proactive service from our professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for long-term efficiency.
