Preventative Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance Doesn't Cost--It Pays

Many people ignore the maintenance and servicing of their heating system and operate in a reactive mode. Maintenance is deferred until something goes wrong. Once something is wrong, the option to perform maintenance is no longer available and now the maintenance becomes reactive. Contributing to reactive maintenance is personal monetary resources. In economic downturns, homeowners cut back. When people reduce spending, maintenance is the first to go. The irony is that reactive maintenance is the most costly way to maintain your HVAC system. The HVAC system is one of the largest uses of energy in your home.

What are the repercussions of ignoring the yearly maintenance on your system?

  • Inefficient equipment will cost you more money
  • Improper operation will damage the components of your heating system
  • Cracked heat exchangers and flue problems can lead to flue gasses being introduced to the living space, which can cause serious health problems
  • You and your family may be breathing harmful pollutants, such as dust, pollen, mold spores, chemicals from cleaners, cooking, carpeting, furniture and insects simply due to dirty air filters

What problems can Dirty and clogged Filters cause?

  • Increased energy consumption
  • Lower comfort levels
  • Compressor damage
  • Reduced air flow
  • Reduced humidity removal

What can Maintenance provide?

  • Cleaner, healthier system operation
  • Lower utility bills
  • Better dehumidification
  • Improved air flow
  • Increased cooling performance
  • Remove harmful pollutants from your indoor air which contributes to respiratory illness

Spring Visit (preparation for summer season):

  • Inspect and clean as needed: inside coil, condenser coil, condensate pans, condensate traps, and condensate lines.
  • Check refrigerant levels and if low, find the leak. (According to many equipment manufacturers, a 10% refrigerant loss will result in a 20% decrease in system efficiency!)
  • Check overall system performance and make upgrade recommendations

Fall Visit (preparation for winter season):

  • Clean the burner assembly.
  • Visually inspect heat exchanger for cracks.
  • Adjust air/fuel ratio of burner and perform combustion testing
  • Clean blower and adjust belt if needed - Fire unit and test safety shutoffs
  • Clean and check operation of humidifier if present.
