Maintaining the heating and cooling system in your home or place of business is incredibly important if you want to make sure that it performs at peak levels. You should have preventive maintenance done 2 times a year at minimum for a variety of reasons. These reasons include:
- Prevention of costly repair bills because this type of maintenance can catch small issues before they turn into monster ones
- Assistance in keeping energy bills low because your system will be running efficiently
- This is typically required by manufacturers in order to maintain the validity of the warranty
Maintaining your equipment can prevent problems in the future that can cost a lot of money. You can keep you cooling and heating system at top performance levels simply by having H&S Heating & Air Conditioning come out and perform annual spring and fall check-ups. During these seasons, you will be ensuring that when your AC and heat are needed, they will be in perfect working order.
Maintenance Check-ups
There are certain things that will be looked at during a maintenance check-up. These things will let the technician know if there are any problems that need to be focused on while it also allows them to ensure that your system is running at peak performance. Some of the things that will be done include:
- Tightening all of the electrical connections while also measuring the voltage as well as the current on the motors. Electrical connections that are faulty can cause the operation of your HVAC system to be unsafe and it can also cause there to be a reduction in the life of those major components.
- Lubrication of all of the moving parts. Parts that move and are not lubricated can cause there to be friction in the motors which can then lead to there being an increase in the amount of electricity that is used. It can also lead to early wear and tear on those moving parts.
- Inspection of the condensate drain that is located in your HVAC system. Drains that are plugged can cause there to be water damage to the building while they can also have an impact on the humidity levels indoors.
- Cleaning of the condenser and evaporator coils in the air conditioning system. When these coils are dirty, they can have a detrimental impact to the ability of the A/C to cool your building while this issue can also lead to the system running for longer periods of time – increasing the energy costs while also reducing the expected life span of the unit.
- Check the refrigerant level and if it is necessary, adjust it. Having the improper amount of refrigerant can make your system operate at a less than efficient level which can raise your energy costs and reduce the life expectancy of the system.
