Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Folks!

Every year we are trying to improve something about ourselves or our business. We are on a mission this year to get the word out about HVAC system maintenance. This is nothing new, but seems to get forgotten in the big scheme of life. 

Maintenance is a “No-Brainer!” When you spend thousands of dollars on a heating and cooling system for your home that can last 15 years with routine professional maintenance, why not?

When you see it in writing, it just makes sense.  Most maintenance agreements cost less than $20.00 a month for two precision tune ups along with many added benefits which more than pay for themselves.

All manufacturers and licensed contractors recommend routine maintenance for several great reasons.

1. You save money every month due to the increased efficiency of your clean system (extremely filter and coil can reduce your efficiency up to 50%)
2. A clean system is a healthier system (dirty coils and ducts promote unhealthy air)
3. Your equipment life may increase by being maintained correctly by professionals 
4. You may have fewer major breakdowns because minor issues will be caught before they can become major ones
5. Your home may become safer due to the routine inspections designed to catch any safety issues
6. You will receive expert recommendations on energy saving tips and new products and services that keep you and your system up-to-date.

You will save money, become more comfortable, be safer, breathe cleaner air, and have a greater “peace-of-mind” when you maintain your heating and cooling system.

Do I really need maintenance on my heating and air conditioning system?

The answer is YES you do. Even new systems need routine maintenance to keep the operating at peak efficiency.  

Some items that should be checked routinely:

1.    The refrigerant coils need to be cleaned thoroughly at least every six months to keep their heat transfer at an optimum performance.

2.    The refrigerant level needs to be exact and checked twice a year. An under-charge or over-charge can cause harm to the system and raise utility bills and lower comfort.

3.    Electrical connections need to be inspected for tightness and wear to prevent over-heating which will lead to equipment failure.

4.    Duct work needs to be tested and inspected for leaks and performance. Poor duct work can cause equipment failure, poor customer comfort, and high utility bills.

5.    Thermostats need to be inspected for correct installation. If the hole in the wall behind the thermostat is not sealed; the thermostat will read the wrong temperature and cause comfort issues.

6.    The condensate drain pans and drain lines need to be inspected and clear for proper drainage or severer water damage can occur.

7.    All components such as safety devices, heat exchangers, fan motors, wheels, and blades, compressor and reversing valves and relays need to be inspected for proper operation.

8.    Keep your return air filters changed or clean every 30 days of operation. Sometimes more often depending where and how you live.

As you can see; there are many items that need to be professionally inspected and cleaned by professionals to keep your heating and air conditioning systems in top shape. Failure to routinely tune-up your equipment can lead to very expensive repair bills, high utility bills, and poor health and comfort.

A quality tune-up usually takes at least and hour or more to perform and will pay for itself.
