Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Childress Heating & AC, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. It just so happens that this time of year can be a sweet spot for an HVAC service call.

When You Should Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, brutal winter weather can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a tune-up.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, scheduling two maintenance appointments each year will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance visits are crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning routine gives our technicians adequate time to make sure everything is in working order. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Maintaining balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means regularly cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system keeps things running smoothly 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 helps prevent fires and preserves your system's reliability.

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