Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a great opportunity to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Northwest Services, 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 maintenance visit.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

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, brutal winter weather can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Scheduling 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 just in time for summer. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments every year will offer lasting results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance tune-ups are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians adequate time to make sure everything is in working order. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and identify the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and helps prevent water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are in good working order is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and maintains smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they arise. Such proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for long-term efficiency.
