It is necessary to service your air conditioning every summer. It is easy to organize if you choose our company. Our specialist doesn't only expect but service your AC. That simple procedure helps you to save your time and money because prevention is always cheaper than a replacement or new AC.
You rely on your furnace to keep your home comfortably warm when the nights get chilly, which is just one of the reasons why an annual furnace inspection from a knowledgeable HVAC pro is so important. A professional furnace inspection also provides a number of other key benefits.
• When your furnace is properly maintained, it operates efficiently, which reduces fuel and energy waste and lowers your annual heating costs. An annual tune-up by a qualified and experienced technician can help extend the life of your heating equipment by preventing unnecessary damage to vital system components.
• During a routine maintenance visit, your HVAC specialist can identify and address small problems before they progress into more serious issues that require costly repairs or replacements.
• Regular maintenance can help prevent safety issues, such as the risk of fire, and the dangers posed by unhealthy gas fumes, and lethal carbon monoxide leaks.
Our technical inspector will check the "heart" of AC - the motor. You may be surprised but a motor that is drawing too many amps is going to stop working soon. If our specialist will find the problem, so it is necessary to adjust or replace a thermostat. Don't forget to check the air filter every month. PHD Heating & Cooling technician will do it as part of the servicing, like as cleaning the condenser, compressor, air handler, drainage line, etc. The final stage of maintenance is testing refrigerant levels and observing AC working.
The steps performed during a routine furnace inspection can vary and you can expect that an experienced professional will include the following tasks:
• Checking the vent system for leaks or blockages.
• Examining the heat exchanger for signs of corrosion and cracks or separations. A damaged heat exchanger can allow deadly carbon monoxide to escape.
• Checking the blower and cleaning its components. This includes removing the blower wheel to ensure that it’s free of dirt and debris. Testing for a tight seal on the blower access door.
• Checking the air intake grills for blockages.
• Performing an amp-draw test on the blower motor and comparing the results to the unit’s listed specifications. This can reduce the risk of fire, and help extend the life of the blower components.
• Checking the burner for proper ignition and testing the flame sensor for accurate operation.
• Lubricating all the motor’s moving parts to reduce friction. When there’s friction, the motor has to work harder, which requires more electricity, and it could also result in a premature failure.
• Checking that all electrical connections are tight and examining the wiring for signs of rust and corrosion.
• Testing the thermostat calibration. When the thermostat is calibrated correctly, your home will be more comfortable. It can also save you money on your energy bills by preventing overheating.
• Examining the flue for obstructions. If the toxic fumes that result from combustion can’t escape up the flue due to a blockage, your indoor air quality will suffer.
• Testing for the unit’s safety controls. This should include checking the high limit control, which prevents the furnace from overheating and reduces the risk of fire.
• Checking the belts for signs of wear or cracks.
• Testing that the system’s startup cycle is functioning correctly. Checking the furnace’s air filter. A dirty filter can reduce the unit’s efficiency by restricting needed air flow, and damage vital system components over time.
