Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you thought about the fact that it’s also the perfect time to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Childress Heating & AC, 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 checkup appointment.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put a lot of strain on key furnace components. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to determine whether your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system just in time for summer. In fact, the recommended schedule of 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 tune-ups are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians the time they need to ensure everything is in working order. 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 essential, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system ensures things running smoothly and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Double checking 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 type of proactive service from experienced professionals can provide your heating and cooling systems the best chance for long-term efficiency.
