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 great opportunity to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At West Michigan Heating & Air Conditioning Services, 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 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, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

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

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance appointments are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians adequate time to ensure everything is in working order. During a visit, 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 key, which means periodically cleaning or switching out the 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: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This avoids fires and ensures smooth operation.

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