Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to perform a checkup for your HVAC system? At Contra Costa Heating & AC, 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 service call.

When You Should Schedule Routine 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 considerable wear on key furnace components. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives a professional HVAC technician a chance to see if your furnace needs a little extra attention.

Using Groundhog Day as your maintenance reminder also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before temperatures start to rise. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments every year will offer the best results. One should be before spring with the other in fall.

Essentials for Your HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Routine maintenance appointments are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning process allows our technicians the time they need to verify that everything is in tip-top shape. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Keeping a healthy balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and locate the source of the leak.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things running smoothly and helps prevent water damage.
  • Reviewing electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are working correctly is vital. This helps prevent fires and preserves smooth operation.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—stopping problems before they occur. Such proactive service from experienced professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the optimal opportunity for maintaining peak condition.
