Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also a good time of year to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Tokay, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in optimal condition. It just so happens that this time of year can be a sweet spot for an HVAC maintenance visit.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put a lot of strain on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs a tune-up.

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 each year will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance appointments are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians adequate time to make sure everything is in good condition. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the 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: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are in good working order is imperative. This avoids fires and preserves your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they occur. This type of proactive service from our professionals can give your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for long-term efficiency.
