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 perform a checkup 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 can be a sweet spot for an HVAC maintenance visit.

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 considerable wear on important parts of the system. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to help you decide if 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, sticking with two maintenance appointments each year will offer better results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Must-Do Maintenance Tasks for Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance appointments are vital for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians plenty of time to ensure everything is in good condition. On a service call, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will perform can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replacing any lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is key, which means periodically cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll replenish the supply and find the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and helps prevent water damage.
  • Inspecting electrical connections and safety features: Confirming that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This reduces the risk of fires and preserves smooth operation.

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