What is the difference between HVAC Service & Maintenance?
HVAC service is referring to needed repairs, while HVAC maintenance refers to preventive maintenance that help improve performance and extends the life of your system. Much like the preventive maintenance that is needed for a vehicle, an HVAC system uses the same principle. If you take care of your HVAC system, it will take care of you when you need it most.
When do you need HVAC Service?
If you are experiencing any of the following:
● Your home or business is not maintaining the temperature your thermostat is set at.
● You hear strange noises when the system is on.
● Utility bills are significantly higher than what you are used to paying during similar times of the year.
● Air flow is poor or doesn’t blow cold.
● You notice strange smells or musty odors.
When should you get HVAC maintenance?
HVAC maintenance should be done by a professional twice per year to keep it operating effectively and efficiently. This helps you stay cool or warm and comfortable in your home when you need it most, and reduces your energy costs.
A benefit to routine maintenance is that a professional technician can discover a potential problem and repair it before it breaks down avoiding expensive repairs at the worst times.
What is included in a routine HVAC maintenance visit?
● Thorough cleaning of coils, burners, heat exchanger, drains, and elements.
● Examining the flue draft.
● Inspecting and adjusting electrical connections, blower wheel, indoor and outdoor motor operations, and thermostat functionality.
● Monitoring refrigerant pressure.
● Replace or maintain air filters.
● Testing all safety controls.
● Lubricating moving parts where applicable.
