HVAC Maintenance that you should leave to the professionals
Not every task is able to be done by yourself, and it’s true. HVAC Maintenance appears to be possible for everyone, but there are certain particulars that only the professionals can tune up. It needs skills, tools, and experience to handle complex tasks. Here is what to expect when you call in the professionals to perform the HVAC maintenance.
Thermostat checking: The HVAC technician ensure that your thermostat is adjusted properly to ensure proper heating and cooling in the building or home. If you do not have a programmable thermostat, they will recommend you the programmable one.
Tighten electrical connections: Sometimes the breakdowns can happen due to loose electrical connections. It cut down the equipment’s lifespan. The technician also measures voltage and current on equipment motors.
Lubricate all moving parts: As the system grows old wear and tear of the parts are normal. The lack of lubrication causes the parts to overheat and leads to breakdown. Lubricating it often reduces the friction that caused in between. Proper lubrication can be done only by the professionals and it helps to move the parts smooth. Proper lubrication on time helps to reduce electricity usage and energy bills.
Inspect the condensate drain: Cooling equipment and furnaces produce condensates when they operate. These condensates are getting collected in a pan and drain through a pipe to the outside. Over time, mold or algae can form in the drain pipe and create a blockage. At the time of high usage, there might be a chance for the pan to overflow and cause damage to the equipment or your home. An HVAC technician can check the condensate drain to make sure it’s draining properly and cleans it out if necessary.
Check system controls: The entire operation is based on a particular fashion. The whole operation including the start cycle and shut-off sequence is controlled by the system controls. To ensure the operation is in a proper way, an HVAC technician can check the controls and do the necessary adjustments.
Blower adjustments: Equipment efficiency can be affected by blower issues. Only an HVAC technician can find what is wrong with the blower and make necessary measures for proper airflow and sufficient home/office comfort.
Clean the evaporator and condenser coils: Stained coils are another reason for the decrease in the system performance. What is required is the periodical cleaning of these coils to make the HVAC run longer. Cleaning the coil is a crucial part of maintaining the AC’s capacity that leads to lower energy bills and prolonged equipment life.
Check fuel line connections (heating specific): Poor gas connections are a threat to your health. It allows the fumes to enter your home and cause health issues. Tightening the connections ensures safe operation.
Inspect the gas pressure, burner combustion and heat exchanger: Incorrect air pressure or a cracked heat exchanger cause the burner to operate improperly. These circumstances lead to unsafe operation and lead to system inefficiency. Fine-tuning the gas pressure and cleaning helps to improve operation and lower energy bills. If the heat exchanger is cracked, you may need to purchase a new one.
