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 schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Allstar Heating & Air Conditioning, 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 checkup appointment.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the end of the coldest part of winter, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, brutal winter weather can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs some TLC.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each year will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance tune-ups are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians plenty of time to ensure everything is in good condition. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and preserves your system's reliability.

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