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 good time of year to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Kilbourne Heating & AC, 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 is ideal for an HVAC maintenance visit.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put a lot of strain on important parts of the system. Keeping up with 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 the busy summer season. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments annually will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance visits 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 good condition. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This avoids fires and preserves your system's reliability.

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