When it comes to home comfort, few systems work harder behind the scenes than your HVAC system. Especially in St. Louis, where summer heat and winter chills hit hard, your heating and cooling setup keeps your family safe, comfortable, and healthy year-round. That’s why regular HVAC maintenance is not a luxury — it’s a necessity.

Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Routine maintenance may not seem urgent, but neglect can lead to high energy bills, costly repairs, and shortened system life. Here’s what regular HVAC checkups help you avoid:

  • Unexpected breakdowns during peak seasons
  • Diminished air quality from dirty filters and ducts
  • Higher energy bills due to system inefficiency
  • Shorter system lifespan and more frequent replacements

Think of it as getting an oil change for your car — it keeps everything running smoothly and helps you avoid major issues down the line.

What Happens During an HVAC Maintenance Check?

At Rick Rasch Heating & Cooling, our maintenance visits are thorough and tailored to St. Louis weather. Here’s what a typical seasonal tune-up includes:

  1. Filter Replacement — A clean filter improves airflow and air quality.
  2. Coil Cleaning — Dirty coils reduce efficiency and cooling power.
  3. Refrigerant Check — Ensures your system is charged and leak-free.
  4. Thermostat Calibration — So your system responds accurately.
  5. Electrical Inspection — To avoid hazards and ensure safety.
  6. Drain Line Cleaning — Prevents backups and water damage.

These steps are designed not just to prevent failure, but to boost efficiency and performance.

When to Schedule Maintenance

  • Spring — Before the heat hits, ensure your AC is ready
  • Fall — Prep your furnace before those frosty nights

If your system hasn’t been serviced in over a year, now is the time.
