HVAC Repair & Service

Not only is your home’s HVAC expensive to replace, but a fully operational system is necessary for living comfortably. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning keep your home cozy and cool throughout the seasons. To ensure that your home stays at your optimum temperature, plan to have maintenance inspections performed on a regular basis.

A maintenance inspection in the early spring can check for problems that could interfere with the efficiency of your air conditioning unit when summer arrives. Issues such as improper refrigerant, restricted drain openings, and dirt in the cabinet or coil could reduce your unit’s capability. Problems such as damage to the fan motor and blade, the control box, or the compressor and tubing could result in your unit failing completely. A professional inspection can discover any of these issues and restore your unit to full capacity before the hot weather arrives.

Inspection of your heating system before weather turns cold is a must to verify that your home will be warm and comfortable when the seasons change. Regardless of the type of heating system that you have, an inspection can detect any defects that could impact the heater’s efficiency. If your home has oil heat, a professional will check the fan belt for damage or slack. The blower motor must be lubricated to reduce friction and the burner nozzle must be cleaned to prevent build-up that could cause an oil blockage. A gas heat furnace also has maintenance that needs to be completed regularly to extend the life of the unit. The air filters must be replaced at least two times a year. Some of the dirt will make it through the filter, so the blower assembly must also be cleaned.

For both types of systems, checking the flue pipe for holes or cracks is essential to prevent any release of carbon monoxide that could cause illness to the people living in the house. A professional can find and fix this deterioration before they cause harm.
