To make sure your HVAC system doesn’t break down when you need it most, it is important to have regular preventive maintenance checks.
Preventive maintenance makes sure that your system runs smoothly, which helps keep your energy costs down. The maintenance will also prevent things like dust accumulation from damaging the system itself. If these maintenance steps go unperformed, deterioration and wear can eventually cause the system to overwork itself and break down.
The condenser and evaporator coils of your air conditioner are responsible for properly cooling the air, so they’re especially important to have cleaned, and your contractor should do so. The blower components should also be cleaned and adjusted to make sure they are efficiently distributing the air.
With your furnace, preventive maintenance checks are particularly important because of the gas it uses to create heat. Inspections will ensure that all connections are secure so there are no health or fire hazards. The burner and heat exchanger will also be checked to make sure they are clean and not cracked. These problems need to be checked early on to prevent inefficient burning of gas.
The best time for inspections of your air conditioning and heating systems are the months directly before you will be using them most. This is the spring for the A/C and the fall for the winter. By making sure everything is in proper working order, you will have peace of mind knowing that your HVAC system will not break down when you are using it the most.
These are some of the maintenance steps that are performed to both the heating and cooling systems:
- Check thermostat settings
- Lubricate moving parts
- Inspect condensate drains
- Tighten electrical connections
