Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also a great opportunity to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Thurston Heating & Air Conditioning, 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.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, brutal winter weather can put considerable wear on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to see if your furnace needs a tune-up.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments every year will offer lasting results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance visits are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A detailed inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians plenty of time to ensure everything is in good condition. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and identify the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is vital. This avoids fires and preserves your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they happen. This type of proactive service from experienced professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the best chance for maintaining peak condition.
