AIR CONDITIONING MAINTENANCE

You should get your AC system serviced once a year. AC maintenance focuses on minor improvements that can help your air conditioning run more efficiently. You will see improved airflow, which reduces how hard your system has to work and can help lower your energy bills.

Preventive maintenance also cuts down on your long-term worries. Serious issues can develop when the proper maintenance doesn’t occur. When you identify and fix minor problems, they won’t develop into something worse.

For instance, when an AC fan is not lubricated correctly, the mechanical stress it creates can spark motors to burn out. Or, moisture from the evaporator coils may overflow if you fail to clear out the condensate pan. Technicians can recognize these signs of potential trouble and address them each time they visit your home for routine maintenance.

What’s Included in a Preventive HVAC Maintenance Tune-Up?

This checklist provides a starting point for the tasks you should expect in most regular HVAC checkups. However, you may have specific concerns that extend beyond this list, or you may realize not every item below applies to you. The following items are the bare minimum our expert technicians will address when you schedule an HVAC tune-up in Hershey, PA:

• Thermostat calibration: This task ensures your thermostat is working correctly and providing precise control over the temperature, as well as offering accurate temperature readings. The technicians will fix any issues they find with this system or else confirm the thermostat is working as it should be.
• Lubrication: HVAC systems consist of many moving parts, many of which frequently rub together as they cycle the air in and out of the system. This constant friction can lead the pieces to break down and wear out faster than they should. A little lubrication can go a long way toward helping these components achieve a longer lifespan.
• Controls check: This check ensures every control involved in the system works as it’s supposed to. For example, your technician will ensure the system stops, starts, and performs every other function as directed with no issues.
• Blower maintenance: If your blower is dirty, blocked, or misaligned, it will significantly reduce your unit’s efficiency. Any routine check should take the time to ensure this component is clean and free of any problems.
• Proper fuel line connections check: If you have a system that runs on oil, gas, or propane, this check makes sure every fuel line is connected properly, with absolutely no leaks. If the technicians uncover any problems, they will promptly fix them to ensure a healthy system for another year.
• Cleaning and replacing filters: No filter lasts forever. They naturally fill up with dust, dirt, and other contaminants, and therefore you will need to replace them regularly with new filters. Doing so should be part of any annual checkup.
• Cleaning intake and exhaust vents: Can the air get in and out of your HVAC system with no obstacles? If either the intake or exhaust vents are clogged or dirty, it will limit your system’s efficiency and effectiveness, as well as restrict its ability to keep your air clean. Always make sure to have these vents inspected during your annual maintenance.
• Clean accumulated dust and mold: Anything stationery that you don’t often handle will naturally collect dust over time. Make sure to clean this coating off your system every year to ensure the highest level of functioning. Check for mold as well, as this may limit your machine’s functionality while also indicating excessive dampness, which may be a sign of an underlying problem.

You should call heating and cooling professionals at least once a year to perform preventative HVAC maintenance that checks the items off this list, but don’t be afraid to stop there. If at any time you notice a strange sound, smell, or peculiarity in your system’s functioning, don’t hesitate to call before your next scheduled tune-up. Who knows what issues you might catch before they have the chance to develop into a larger problem?
