Would
you drive a car year after year without ever changing
the oil or taking it to a mechanic for a tune-up?
Probably not. Like your car, your cooling and heating
systems must be maintained in order to run efficiently
and dependably. You should change your air filters
monthly. And your air conditioner and heater should
each be inspected once a year. Annual heating and
cooling chseck-ups allow a technician to identify
minor problems before they become major problems.
Proper maintenance may add years to the life of
your units' major components. It also enables your
heating and cooling systems to run more efficiently
and more dependably.
What an Inspection
of Your Cooling System Includes
A thorough examination of system components including
coils and contactors. Over time, coils may become
dirty incrusted. Dirty coils cause a cooling system
to work less efficiently. A unit with dirty coils
uses more electricity, cools less effectively, and
places undo stress on the compressor. Likewise,
burned contactors compromise the efficiency of a
cooling system and can cause damage to the compressor.
An annual inspection allows a technician to identify
dirty coils and burned out contactors before they
cause long term damage to your system. It is much
cheaper to have your coils cleaned or your contactors
replaced than it is to replace a compressor.
• Examination of air filters.
Clean air filters improve the efficiency of your
system and improve the quality of air circulating
through your home or place of business.
• Cleaning and treatment of condensation lines.
Clogged condensation lines and drain lines can cause
water (moisture accumulated by your air conditioning
system) to leak through your ceilings or walls.
Our cooling inspection also includes an algaecide
treatment to reduce the growth of algae and bacteria
which can clog your drain lines.
• Examination of electric components.
Worn electrical components can create a fire hazard
or can cause your unit to unexpectedly break down.
• Measurement of unit's power usage.
Efficient power usage generally indicates that a
unit is working correctly and reliably.
