Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also the perfect time to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Luikart Heating & Cooling, 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 service call.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put considerable wear on important parts of the system. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional 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 every year will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance appointments are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians adequate time to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Making sure 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 happen. This kind of proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for peak performance.
