Maintenance   Maintenance = $avings! Take care of your HVAC system, and it will take care of you. Maintenance agreements are agreements between you and your quality contractor for scheduled inspections and maintenance of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. They generally consist of routine maintenance and include one inspection of your air conditioning equipment and one inspection of your heating equipment to maintain peak efficiency, help keep utility bills lower, extend the life of your HVAC system, and avert failures. Out of Sight, NOT Out of Mind The cliché “out of sight, out of mind” is often the reason for neglected maintenance on your HVAC system. HVAC systems are usually installed where they aren’t seen, such as in a section of the basement, a closet, or in an attic, making them easy to ignore. The systems are simply taken for granted, until they fail. Decreased efficiency, utility overpayment, discomfort, loss of productivity, premature replacement, and higher repair costs are the result. Getting your HVAC system checked twice annually is just as important as changing the oil in your car every 3,000 miles! What should you expect your HVAC service technician to do during a maintenance visit? Check system functions, safety controls, and adjust the operating sequence where appropriate Inspect electrical components and connections Inspect blowers assemblies Check A/C or heat pump equipment Check individual heating elements with amprobe for proper current draw Check refrigerant charge accuracy Check operation of contact relay Check heating damper for proper airflow Inspect starting components Inspect indoor and outdoor motors Check thermostats Inspect indoor and outdoor coils Make recommendations of any needed repairs to system What’s your bottom line?
