Maintenance Benefits
Keeping your HVAC system in good condition rewards you in many ways. You save money with a well-maintained system because it will function more efficiently and use up less energy to keep you safe and comfortable. Additionally, you may delay buying new equipment for a number of years by maintaining the current equipment .
Replacing or cleaning your system’s filters regularly also improves the quality of your indoor air. This can be especially beneficial to household members who suffer from seasonal allergies and those with very young children, fragile elderly or chronically ill family members.
Preliminary Inspection
We typically recommend a bi annual HVAC inspection to our customers as part of a proper maintenance schedule. If you want to find out whether your system needs a service visit, you can take the following steps:
- Open the hatch and inspect the interior of your system as closely as you can. Be sure to wear protective gear like a mask, gloves and goggles to prevent any injury.
- Look for molds, dirt or evidence of insect or pest penetration.
- Look for rust on pipes and any odd smells or sounds.
- Look for any structural damage, such as current or past leaks in the pumps and ducts of your HVAC system. Inspect your insulation and flexible connectors for holes or small tears.
- Check the valves, dampers and blades to determine their condition. Take note of frayed or defective parts.
