Groundhog Day isn't just about predicting the weather; have you thought about the fact that it’s also the perfect time to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Contra Costa Heating & AC, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. It just so happens that this time of year is ideal for an HVAC service call.

Optimal Timing for Your HVAC Maintenance

As Groundhog Day marks a potential shift in seasons, it's also an ideal time to check your heating system. For example, single-digit temperatures can put significant stress on important parts of the system. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance gives a certified technician a chance to help you decide if your furnace needs some TLC.

Scheduling maintenance around Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each 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 crucial for ensuring your HVAC system operates with optimum efficiency. A detailed inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians adequate time to ensure everything is in working order. On a service call, 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 critical, which means a consistent schedule of cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has leaked refrigerant, we'll restore the supply and locate the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Clearing the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Double checking that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is imperative. This avoids fires and maintains smooth operation.

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