Where to Start with HVAC Maintenance (and Where to Go From There)

Maintenance

With regular HVAC maintenance, you can benefit from increased efficiency, healthier indoor air, longer equipment lifespan, safer operation, and fewer breakdowns. Maintaining your heating and cooling systems is a small investment with big rewards!

Do It Yourself HVAC Maintenance Tips for Beginners

  1. Replace or clean air filters regularly.
  2. Keep the area around your outdoor unit clear of debris and plants to ensure proper airflow.
  3. Make sure your thermostat is set to the right settings for your comfort and energy efficiency.
  4. Check your visible ductwork and HVAC unit for any obvious signs of damage or wear.

Applications for the 2026 Bovio Rubino Service Young Women’s Leadership Conference are Live

South Jersey Rising Junior and Senior High School Young Women are Encouraged to Apply

Voorhees, New Jersey – April 1, 2026 – Young women going into their junior and senior years of high school who are thinking about their futures are encouraged to apply to attend the 2026 Bovio Rubino Service Young Women’s Leadership Conference on Wednesday, July 15 in Voorhees.

The application to attend the Young Women’s Leadership Conference is now live and available through Friday, May 1 by midnight. The Conference is part of “LeadHERship in ’26,” this year’s Bovio Rubino Service community cause which “seeks to advance the opportunities of young women through career readiness, entrepreneurship, community betterment and a personal health and wellness mindset.”

Speakers, workshops and discussions are part of the one-day Conference in July. The opportunity to present an original idea that betters the community after the Conference will be presented to the Conference attendees.

Investing in young women is an idea close to the heart of Bovio Rubino Service president Angela Rubino Hines, a Mom of two young women and a leader amongst very few women in the HVAC and Plumbing service industry. In 2025 Hines was named one of the country’s “Top 12 Women in HVAC” by ACHR News. While she’s humble about the success she has achieved it inspires her to encourage the next generation of women leaders.

“We look forward to investing in young women this year at our Conference, through creative programs with our team members and through partnerships with nonprofit organizations. ‘LeadHERship in ’26’ is our way of giving back and inspiring the next generation of women leaders right here in South Jersey where we live and where our customers live.”
