Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a great opportunity to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Watts Electric & AC, 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 service call.

Optimal Timing for Your 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, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to determine whether 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, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each year will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance visits are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A thorough inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians plenty of time to make sure everything is in good condition. During a visit, 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 critical, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and identify the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This helps prevent fires and ensures your system's reliability.

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