Energy Consumption:
Your HVAC system is probably the largest single use of energy in your home. Systems are usually installed where they can't be seen. They can be installed in the basement, a closet, on rooftops or mechanical rooms, making them too easy to ignore. The systems are simply taken for granted, that they will always function, until they fail. Decrease in efficiency, higher utility bills, discomfort, loss of productivity, premature replacement and higher repair costs are the reality. Getting your HVAC system checked twice annually is just as important as changing the oil in your car every 3k miles.
What should you expect your service technician to do during your “Energy Squeezer” Tune-up?
- Check system functionality, safety features/controls and adjust the operating sequence when appropriate.
- Inspect electrical components and connections and repair or replace or tighten as required.
- Ensure proper airflow and change dirty air filters.
- Inspect pumps, lubricate and check flow rates where appropriate.
- Clean and lubricate motors as required.
- Examine belts, adjust and align as required.
- Inspect, clean and balance blowers as required.
Spring visit (getting ready for the summer season):
- clean inside coil, condensate pans, condensate traps, and condensate lines to prevent obstructions.
- Clean outside coil and straighten fins for efficient airflow.
- Check refrigerant levels, and if low, find the leak and fix it. (According to many manufactures, a 10% refrigerant loss can result in a 20% decrease in the systems efficiency).
Fall visit (getting ready for the winter season):
- Clean the burner unit.
- Remove soot from fireside of burner.
- Clean and check operation of humidifier.
- Inspect the heat exchanger for cracks.
- Adjust air-to-fuel ratio of burner and perform combustion analysis.
In addition: For heat pump applications, the inspection for the winter season repeats a number of the points for the summer season plus several additional checks. Maintaining semi-annually for heat pumps is also important.
