Your heating and cooling equipment will last longer when properly maintained. Our professional service technicians understand your air conditioning and heating system and can eliminate costly problems.
Here is a list of what our technicians check for when servicing your equipment:
- Heat exchanger will be inspected for cracks and deterioration
Benefit: Heat exchangers can develop cracks with age. If they exist, there is a risk of serious illness from toxic fumes emitted.
- Carbon Monoxide levels will be tested
Benefit: Insure that there are no dangerous levels of Carbon Monoxide gas present.
- Air filter will be replaced (high quality, pleated)
Benefit: A restricted air filter can cause your heating and air conditioning unit to waste energy and shorten the compressor's life.
- Burners will be checked and cleaned
Benefit: Dirty burners can cause poor combustion. You pay for useful heat that "goes up the stack."
- Thermocouple will be tested
Benefit: A gradual weakening thermocouple will eventually lock out the gas valve. This could result in you having a "no heat" situation and possibly result in an expensive night-time emergency call.
- Fan switch will be checked and adjusted as needed
Benefit: A fan switch that is not properly adjusted can waste energy or cause nuisance fan cycling.
- Pilot will be checked
Benefit: Weak or dirty pilots can easily be extinguished causing the furnace to shut down.
- Safety controls will be operationally checked
Benefit: Safety controls that do not operate can cause dangerous problems.
- Blower wheel will be cleaned and motor lubricated
Benefit: Motor will last longer and the temperature will be more comfortable.
- Gas line will be leak-checked from the furnace shut-off valve to the burners
Benefit: Undetected gas leaks are dangerous.
- Combustion air openings will be checked
Benefit: Blocked or restricted combustion air openings can be dangerous.
- Flue pipe inspection
Benefit: Flue pipe corrosion or leaks are dangerous. They could allow combustion by-products and Carbon Monoxide into your home.
- Check for proper vent draft
Benefit: Improper venting or back drafting can allow Carbon Monoxide into your home.
- Secure all panels
Benefit: Avoid dangerous conditions and help prevent no heat situations.
- Thermostat will be checked
Benefit: Defective or improperly calibrated thermostats affect comfort and operating cost.
- Temperatures and performance will be recorded
Benefit: An accurate record of vital data can indicate potential problems, which can be eliminated.
