Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also a great opportunity to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Childress Heating & AC, 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 maintenance visit.

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 check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put considerable wear on important parts of the system. Staying on top of 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 before the busy summer season. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments annually will offer better results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance tune-ups are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians the time they need to make sure everything is in good condition. During a visit, 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 key, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and identify the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and avoids water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This reduces the risk of fires and maintains smooth operation.

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