A Typical Maintenance Check-Up Should Include:
Ensure the thermostat is programmed appropriately
This ensures your heating and cooling system is programmed to not run when you’re not home, saving you money and prolonging the life of your system.
Ensure all electrical connections are tightened
Lubricate all moving parts
Parts that lack lubrication cause friction in motors and increase the amount of electricity you use, causing your energy usage to increase and costing you more money.
Check the condensate drain
Checking the condensate drain in your central AC, furnace, and/or heat pump (when in cooling mode). A plugged drain can cause water damage in the house and affect indoor humidity levels.
Check controls of the system
(Cooling specific) Inspect evaporator and condenser air conditioning coils
Dirty coils reduce the system’s ability to cool your home and make it run longer, increasing energy costs and reducing the life of the equipment.
(Cooling specific) Check your central air conditioner's refrigerant level
Too much or too little refrigerant will make your system less efficient, increasing energy costs and reducing the life of the equipment.
(Cooling specific) Inspect and adjust blower components
This provides proper system airflow for better comfort. Airflow problems can reduce your system’s efficiency by up to 15%.
(Heating specific) Check all gas (or oil) connections, gas pressure, burner combustion, and heat exchanger
Improperly operating gas (or oil) connections is a fire hazard and can contribute to health problems. A dirty burner or cracked heat exchanger causes improper burner operation. Either can cause the equipment to operate less safely and efficiently.
Inspect, clean, or change air filters
This is something you can do once a month in your central AC, furnace, and/or heat pump. Your contractor can show you how to do this. A dirty filter can increase energy costs and damage your equipment, leading to early failure.
