Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At West Michigan Heating & Air Conditioning Services, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. 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 a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress on key furnace components. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to see if your furnace needs some TLC.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments annually will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance tune-ups 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 working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and find the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out 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 in good working order is vital. This helps prevent fires and maintains smooth operation.

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