Detailed Checklist for Your HVAC’s Tune-up

One of the greatest investments homeowners make is their cooling and heating systems. The system works hard all year, making living conditions comfortable. So, it is important to make sure the system receives regular maintenance and service. By providing this type of detailed checklist when checking your HVAC system, its life is extended and your money stays in your pockets.

If you are a new homeowner, it might be helpful to know that most air and heating units require regular maintenance to keep the warranty. It is important to have your system inspected at the end of the summer season to ensure it will be ready to operate properly during the colder months.

What makes up an HVAC Tune-Up?

Vents and Ducts Checked

Vents and ducts are checked to ensure there are no air leaks that could reduce the efficiency of the heating unit.

Air Filters Changed

Air filters need to be checked to ensure there are no clogs of dirt and the filter is clean. A clean filter will allow air to flow properly throughout your home. A dirty filter can cause your system to work harder, which can eventually cause further damage to your unit.

Thermostat Check

Thermostats are checked to ensure they are reading accurate temperatures. Most thermostats can be adjusted so that they operate at peak efficiency. This will help save you money on your energy bill.

The Heat Exchanger Examined

The heat exchanger is examined for any cracks or damage. If there is any damage to the system, it will need to be replaced. Cracks in this part can cause carbon monoxide to fill your home’s air.

Condenser coils cleaned

Condenser coils are key to keeping your HVAC system operating at its best. Condenser coils need to be checked yearly to ensure they are not clogged. This keeps clean air flowing throughout the system. Once the coils become clogged with dirt, it blocks the air from flowing, which can drive up the condensing temperature and head pressure, causing unwanted damage.
