AIR CONDITIONER-HEAT SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
REMINDER...NOW is the time to have your  AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM CHECK-UP! AIR CONDITIONER REPAIR IS EXPENSIVE!  Regular maintenance of your air conditioning and heating system can help prevent expensive repairs.  Dirty coils and low Freon levels can decrease the efficiency of your air conditioner, making your AC run longer, which costs you money and may shorten the lifespan of your air conditioner - heating system.  In fact, a heating-cooling system that is drawing high amps can overheat and fail just when you need it most.  What's worse, there are safety risks which can occur due to a lack of regular and proper maintenance of a gas furnace.  (See Gas Furnace Maintenance for more info). Your air conditioner works year-round, and it works hardest in the heat of summer!  You wouldn't expect your car or any other piece of equipment to continue running properly without regular care and maintenance, and you shouldn't expect your AC system to operate properly month after month, and year after year, without the proper system maintenance.  Call us today for your semi-annual AIR CONDITIONER maintenance.  Our ten-point AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM check-up will set your mind at ease that your AC system will be COOLING when it's supposed to! See below for information about how we can inspect your GAS or ELECTRIC FURNACE-HEATING SYSTEM for proper maintenance and safety.
GAS FURNACE MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY INSPECTION 1.  Clean, light and inspect pilot assembly. 2.  Check burner assembly to ensure it is burning correctly. 3.  Check to ensure flue vent is clean and free of obstructions. 4.  Check "Safetys" such as switches, relays for proper operation. 5.  Check gas valve and gas connections for potential leaks. 6.  Check gas piping at furnace for proper installation.
HEATING SYSTEM - AC MAINTENANCE TEN POINT CHECK:
1. AMP DRAWS ON COMPRESSOR 2. AMP DRAWS ON INDOOR MOTOR 3. AMP DRAWS ON OUTDOOR MOTOR    There are many reasons why your unit might draw more power than it's designed to, such as dirty coils and low Freon levels.  Excessive amp draw can cause the unit to overheat and significantly shorten the lifespan of your air conditioning system. 4. CHECK RUN CAPACITORS 5. CHECK CONTACTORS   These are part of the electrical system of your air conditioning unit.  If these contactors are worn, and not making contact, your air conditioning unit will either not cool, or it will run continuously without shutting off.	6. CHECK TEMPERATURE SPLIT    At the return air duct and at select registers to be sure the unit is working efficiently. 7.  CHECK INDOOR COIL 8.  CHECK OUTDOOR COIL 9.  CHECK AIRFLOW AND FILTERS     Dirty coils and filters can cause higher amp draws on the compressor and on the motors and can impeded airflow and decrease cooling ability. 10. CHECK FREON LEVEL     If the Freon level is low your system probably has a leak and will not cool your home efficiently.
_______________________________  If you have a HEAT PUMP, whether it's a split system or a package unit, you have a system that is working year round: generating cold air in the summer and heat in the cooler months.   Your air conditioning and heating system has many mechanical and electrical components that need regular maintenance to continue to function efficiently over the life of the unit.  The air handler, where the indoor coil and blower motor are housed, can get dirty over time and need professional cleaning.   Your heat pump condensor, located outside your home, not only may build up with dirt and debris, but many homeowners make the mistake of planting bushes or installing fencing too close to the unit.  Plants, fencing, furniture or anything placed too near your unit can block the airflow, or a dirty condensor coil can also cause inadequate airflow.  Either may cause your compressor to overheat.  In addition, if the fan motor, also located in the outdoor condensor,  goes out, without the cooling element the fan motor provides your compressor can burn out quickly. Other components within your system may also need attention.  A bad solenoid or reversing valve will prevent your air conditioning system from making the change from heating to cooling, just when you need it most. Professional maintenance on your system will help you avoid costly repairs and can help extend the life of your air conditioning system.  Your HEAT PUMP system should be checked twice a year to make sure it's working at maximum efficiency.
