Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a good time of year to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Lakeside Heating & Air, 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 check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to determine whether 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, sticking with two maintenance appointments annually will offer lasting results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance visits are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A thorough inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians the time they need to verify that everything is in good condition. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Inspecting 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—stopping problems before they happen. This type of proactive service from our professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for peak performance.
