Preventative Maintenance

What is preventative maintenance? And why should i sign up for yearly service?

Preventive maintenance for heating and cooling systems is crucial for ensuring optimal performance, extending the lifespan of the equipment, improving energy efficiency, and minimizing the risk of costly breakdowns. By investing in regular preventive maintenance, homeowners and businesses can enjoy several benefits and avoid potential headaches in the long run.

One of the key aspects of preventive maintenance is the thorough inspection and cleaning of the heating and cooling system components. This includes checking and tightening electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, and cleaning or replacing air filters. These tasks help improve system efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and enhance indoor air quality.

Additionally, preventive maintenance in heating systems involves inspecting and testing safety controls, such as pressure switches and limit switches, to ensure they are functioning correctly. Faulty safety controls can pose risks such as fire hazards or carbon monoxide leaks, making regular inspections crucial for the safety of occupants.

The cooling side of preventive maintenance consists of inspecting and cleaning the system's coils, both on the indoor and outdoor units. Dirty coils can impede airflow and reduce the system's overall efficiency. During maintenance, technicians clean the coils to remove dirt, dust, and debris, allowing the system to operate more effectively and efficiently.

Regular maintenance for cooling also involves examining the system's refrigerant levels. Improper refrigerant levels can lead to reduced cooling or heating performance, increased energy consumption, and potential damage to the compressor. Technicians check refrigerant levels, detect any leaks, and recharge the system as needed to ensure optimal performance.
