Maintenance Helps Your Heating System

When you hire an HVAC expert, s/he is trained to perform all of the maintenance for your heating system and can also perform heating repairs. During a maintenance appointment a number of things happen, including:

1. 1. Thorough & Complete inspection
   2. Cleaning & Adjustments
   3. Lubrication of all parts
   4. Safety testing
   5. Detect any existing or developing problems

During the maintenance process, our experts thoroughly inspect the entire system. One of the most important parts of the inspection is the cleaning stage because it helps to prevent future problems and safety. Dirty or worn parts can harm the efficiency of a unit and can lead to future problems.  All moving parts in a AC unit must be lubricated to help reduce the friction that can lead to breakdown. We will also make any minor repairs.  If we find that a larger repair must or should be performed, we will discuss your options with you and schedule another date to make these repairs that cannot be performed during the maintenance appointment.

Other Benefits of Maintenance

An Air Conditioning and Heating System is one of the largest costs on your energy bill. HVAC system maintenance actually helps your energy efficiency.

The cleaning, adjusting and lubrication that occurs during a maintenance appointment allows the system to run optimally, which helps regain energy efficiency.

Regular maintenance that keeps your system in good working order will increase the lifespan of your Air Conditioning & Heating equipment. It will help to reduce the ware and tear and will keep it in top working order causing it to last longer.
