Technical Aspects of HVAC Maintenance
During a typical maintenance visit, our technicians perform a variety of tasks to ensure your system is operating at peak performance:
1. Cleaning and Inspection
We thoroughly clean all components, including the evaporator and condenser coils, which can accumulate dirt and debris over time. This buildup can significantly reduce system efficiency and lead to increased energy consumption.
2. Refrigerant Level Check
Proper refrigerant levels are crucial for efficient cooling. Low levels can indicate a leak, which not only reduces efficiency but can also lead to compressor damage if left unchecked.
3. Electrical Connections
We inspect and tighten all electrical connections. Loose connections can cause system failure and pose safety hazards.
4. Moving Parts Lubrication
Lubricating moving parts reduces friction, which can lead to increased energy consumption and premature wear of components.
5. Thermostat Calibration
Ensuring your thermostat is accurately calibrated is essential for maintaining comfort levels and optimizing energy use.
By prioritizing regular maintenance, you’re not just avoiding costly repairs; you’re investing in the longevity and efficiency of your HVAC system.
