Preventive Maintenance
Preventive Maintenance Services
A proactive approach to keeping equipment running smoothly, rather than waiting for it to fail. A solid preventive maintenance routine is crucial for extending equipment lifespan, avoiding unexpected breakdowns, and improving energy efficiency. For both residential and commercial systems, this maintenance typically involves a mix of tasks performed monthly, seasonally, and annually
Key aspects of preventive maintenance
AC systems
- Filters: Clean or replace air filters every 1 to 3 months to maintain proper airflow and prevent dirt buildup on the evaporator coil.
- Condensate drain: Inspect and clear drain lines and pans to prevent clogs that can cause water leaks, increased humidity, and mold growth.
- Coils: Keep evaporator and condenser coils clean from dust and debris, as dirty coils reduce efficiency and increase energy consumption.
- Electrical components: Have a professional inspect electrical connections to prevent failures and ensure safe operation.
- Moving parts: Lubricate moving parts, such as fan motors, to reduce friction, prevent wear and tear, and decrease energy usage.
- Thermostat: Test and calibrate the thermostat to ensure accurate temperature control and energy efficiency.
- Outdoor unit: Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear of debris and trim back foliage to ensure proper airflow.
