HVAC contractors provide a variety of services, but let’s take a closer look at the value of each:
HVAC Maintenance
Some people may wonder, is HVAC maintenance really worth the money? The answer is that—yes—HVAC maintenance is critical and is worth the money, without question.
The reality is that when people are living or working in space, preventative maintenance is critical not just for comfort, but for helping your indoor air quality (and your health), for maximum efficiency, and for extending the life of your system. Regular AC maintenance ensures your air filter is changed, and it also includes:
- Removal of any mold, dust and debris from the unit
- Cleaning of the evaporator coils and condensers
- Clearing clogs and drain lines
- Checking that the thermostat is functioning properly
- Removal of any standing water if there is any from drain pains
- Replacing any worn parts such as belts
- Ensuring proper refrigerant charge
- Checking the fan motor is working properly
- Inspecting the blowers and blades
- Removing debris from unit outside
- Lubricating parts that need it
This ensures your system work as it was designed. The preventative maintenance can also spot problems before they become major, more costly issues, plus it keeps your family safe.
The savings you get from doing regular preventative maintenance comes down to three things: one, you are saving on bills because your system is running more optimally and efficiently; two, you are saving because there is no malfunction and/or preventable repair issues you need to handle later on; and three, you are extending the life of your system, meaning you can extend the length of time until you have to make any major investment again.
24/7 HVAC Repair
Signs you may need a repair can include:
- Irregular monthly energy bills: if you compare your bills form year to year, and the energy cost is not explained by a seasonal/temperature change, it could be a sign your system isn’t working as efficiently as it used to.
- Rattling, whistling, or rocking noises: in some cases, abnormal sounds can tell you something is wrong.
- Yellow pilot light: if you try to adjust your burner light, and you still can’t get your pilot light to blue, then it could be an issue or even a sign of excess carbon dioxide.
- Trouble with your thermostat: assuming you’ve checked your batteries, if you have excessive issues with your thermostat it could be a sign there is actually something wrong with your AC.
- Warm air is blowing out of your vents. You have your AC on, but you notice warm air is coming out in the house.
- High humidity. If you notice the humidity in the home more of a problem than normal, it may mean something is wrong.
- Odors. If there are odors coming from your system, there could be something wrong.
When it does come to any necessary repairs, we fix it right—and we’re proud about our up-front pricing. We want you to be informed every step of the way so you feel great about the service you receive.
