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 schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Covington Air Systems, 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 the end of the coldest part of winter, 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 determine whether your furnace needs a tune-up.

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 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 tune-ups are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning routine allows our technicians the time they need to ensure everything is in good condition. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are working correctly is imperative. This helps prevent fires and maintains 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 offer your heating and cooling systems the greatest potential for peak performance.
