Read on to learn more about what our technicians will do on a maintenance visit!
Inspect and Clean Your System
Our HVAC technicians will inspect your heating system and clean important parts. This type of maintenance needs to be performed on all types of heating systems, including furnaces, heat pumps, and boilers. Besides being a safety measure, cleaning parts of your system also helps it operate efficiently, saving you money on your monthly energy bills.
Change or Clean Air Filters
Air filters get dirty over time as they collect dust, dirt, and other debris. If an air filter collects too much material, it can become clogged. This restricts airflow and can cause your heating system to malfunction.
Calibrate the Thermostat
Our HVAC technicians will inspect and calibrate your thermostat, checking that it’s in the proper mode and that its temperature readings are accurate. They can help with all types of thermostats, including programmable and smart ones.
Ensure Safe Operation
Your heating system will have various safety checks performed on it. This includes checking the burner flames and heat exchanger on gas furnaces. A broken heat exchanger can result in carbon monoxide being blown into your home, which is a tasteless, odorless gas that harms your health.
Lubricate Moving Parts
Our technicians will lubricate all moving parts in your heating system. This reduces wear and tear and ensures proper functioning. Moving parts include furnace and blower motors as well as fan blades.
