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 Pratt Brothers, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in excellent working order. It just so happens that this time of year can be a sweet spot for an HVAC checkup appointment.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put a lot of strain on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional 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 temperatures start to rise. In fact, sticking with two maintenance appointments annually will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance tune-ups are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians plenty of time to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means a consistent schedule of 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: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are working correctly is vital. This helps prevent fires and preserves smooth operation.

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