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 schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At JTech Mechanical, 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 ideal for an HVAC service call.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, brutal winter weather can put considerable wear on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a tune-up.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments annually will offer better 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 comprehensive inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians adequate time to ensure everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, 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 a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps 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 imperative. This helps prevent fires and maintains smooth operation.

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