Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Bishop’s HVAC, 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.

When You Should Schedule Routine 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 significant stress on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a tune-up.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments each year will offer lasting 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 with optimum efficiency. A thorough inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians adequate time to verify that everything is in working order. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing 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 leaked refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and identify the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are working correctly is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and maintains smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—averting problems before they occur. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the best chance for peak performance.
