Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a great opportunity to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At AZ Air Conditioning and Heating, 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 can be a sweet spot 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 check your heating system. For example, brutal winter weather can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to see if your furnace needs some TLC.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance appointments are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians plenty of time to verify that everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore 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.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are working correctly is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they occur. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the best chance for long-term efficiency.
