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 Rapids Sheet Metal Works Inc, 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 the end of the coldest part of winter, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put considerable wear on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a tune-up.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments each year will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

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 allows 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: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are in good working order is crucial. This reduces the risk of fires and preserves your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they occur. This kind of proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for maintaining peak condition.
