Do - it - yourself tips

Maintain your equipment to prevent future problems and unwanted costs. Keep your cooling and heating system at peak performance by having a contractor do annual pre-season check-ups. Contractors get busy once summer and winter come, so it's best to check the cooling system in the spring and the heating system in the fall. To remember, you might plan the check-ups around the time changes in the spring and fall.

Maintenance Savings Plan

Your home is your largest investment. It’s your place of comfort, security, family, memories, giving and sharing. And a place that’s supposed to function while providing all this. That’s why we created this Maintenance Savings Plan. On the other hand, a system that is too small just cannot get the job done, especially in extreme weather conditions. The air conditioner will run constantly in the summer and the furnace will do the same in winter. But a correctly sized system isn't just based on the size of the structure.

Many factors go into determining the size of the system. Including type of house and walls, type and size of windows, insulation, basement and attic conditions, house orientation, and so on. A Salesman must visit the house and take detailed measurements and notes while conducting the survey.

A typical maintenance check-up should include the following:

Check thermostat settings to ensure the cooling and heating system keeps you comfortable
when you are home and saves energy while you are away.

Tighten all electrical connections and measure voltage and current on motors. Faulty electrical
connections can cause unsafe operation of your system and reduce the life of major components.

Lubricate all moving parts. Parts that lack lubrication cause friction in motors and increases the
amount of electricity you use.

Check and inspect the condensate drain in your central air conditioner, 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 to ensure proper and safe operation. Check the starting cycle of the
equipment to assure the system starts, operates, and shuts off properly.

Cooling Specific:

Clean evaporator and condenser air conditioning coils. Dirty coils reduce the system's ability to
cool your home and cause the system to run longer, increasing energy costs and reducing the
life of the equipment.

Check your central air conditioner's refrigerant level and adjust if necessary. Too much or too
little refrigerant will make your system less efficient increasing energy costs and reducing the
life of the equipment.

Clean and adjust blower components to provide proper system airflow for greater comfort levels.
Airflow problems can reduce your system's efficiency by up to 15 percent.
