FacebookTwitterEmailShare

Believe it or not, one of the best ways to maintain the energy efficiency of your HVAC system and keep your energy bills down is by signing up for an HVAC maintenance plan. By having a professional check on your HVAC system on a regular basis, you can properly monitor the condition of your equipment, pinpoint any issues before they become more serious and carry out the necessary heating or air conditioning repair.

In this article, Superior Air discusses a few of the things that you can expect from a professional HVAC maintenance plan.

Home Survey

HVAC technicians also take other parts of your home into account. Your windows, doors, insulation and ductwork can have an impact on your comfort and the efficiency of your HVAC system. If the technicians are able to identify structural deficits that may have been causing issues with the performance of your HVAC system, they can offer solutions that will provide improvements and help you save money.

Equipment Check

Of course, heating and air conditioning maintenance includes a thorough inspection of all equipment. The technicians document the age, condition and repair history of each unit in order to get a full picture. Technicians will also carry out a power and fuel consumption analysis to determine the operating cost of the equipment.

Recommendations

HVAC contractors will come up with recommendations on how you can maximize the efficiency of your HVAC system and minimize your repair, maintenance and power costs. 

Others

Below are some specific tasks that most HVAC technicians usually include in a typical maintenance plan.

Air conditioner:

  • Cleaning the evaporator coil
  • Testing the compressors
  • Completing a efrigerant charge test
  • Changing the filters
  • Lubricating motors and moving parts
