Is your AC unit ready and safe for summer?
A: One of the things you can do as a homeowner is keeping your unit free of debris. This will make it run more efficiently and protect it from damage. Unfortunately, there are not many things you ought to do to your HVAC unit. Tinkering around with it will likely void any warranty and may put your life and health (as well as that of other occupants) at risk. Rather than worry endlessly about the functionality, it is highly recommended that you have your air conditioning system maintained at least once a year by a licensed HVAC company. By having regular tune-ups, you can help lower utility bills by reducing energy consumption and waste, extend equipment life, give you and your family peace of mind that the equipment is safe, need fewer repairs and improved system reliability, and finally, increase cooling capacity and efficiency. A service technician will check the following things: • Check thermostat operation • Clean or replace the filter • Check the system’s temperature split • Check wiring and connections • Inspect the fuse disconnect • Inspect all contactors, relays and pressure controls • Inspect the safety circuit • Inspect the motor and indoor blower for dirt build up • Assure proper amperage to all motors • Inspect bearings and lubricate moving parts • Clean and inspect the drain • Inspect outdoor coil • Inspect duct seal • Run the system An inspection assures the system’s safety and operability, so you can turn it on with complete confidence and peace of mind.
