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 good time of year to request a tune-up for your HVAC system? At Covington Air Systems, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in optimal condition. It just so happens that this time of year is a prime moment for an HVAC checkup appointment.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, brutal winter weather can put a lot of strain on important parts of the system. Scheduling routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Scheduling maintenance around 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 autumn.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance tune-ups are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians plenty of time to ensure everything is in good condition. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will complete can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is essential, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Flushing out the drainage system ensures things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of 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 ensures your system's reliability.

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