A licensed HVAC technician will complete the following for your heating or air conditioner depending on the season.

1.    Thermostat – To ensure your thermostat is working properly, the technician will calibrate the thermostat and make sure it is installed properly and located away from all heat sources, including light bulbs and heat-producing appliances.

2.    Check/Tighten Electrical Connections – Technicians inspect electrical connections to make sure they are operating safely.  Checking and tightening electrical connections catches potential electrical hazards and helps to improve the lifespan of your heating and cooling system.

3.    Lubricate Moving Parts – This ensures that you aren’t causing any unnecessary damage to moving parts with friction. Lack of lubrication causes system parts to break down more quickly, requiring more frequent repairs and/or replacements.

4.    Check and Clear Condensate Drain Line – Clearing your A/C’s condensate line ensures that your air conditioner can properly drain liquid condensate. If your drain line becomes clogged, this can cause water leaks, other moisture and wetness problems. Condensate drain cleanings also get rid of any mold and bacteria around your drain line. Your technician will also check if you have a cracked condensate drain pan and be able to repair or replace any leaking condensate drain lines that you may have.

5.    Check System Controls – This ensures proper cycling and safe operation for your HVAC system. It’s important to check if your system is starting, operating, and shutting off properly.

6.    Change or Clean Air Filter – This ensures that you have a working and clean air filter that is suitable for your exiting system. Although you are able to change your filter yourself (and you should!), Your HVAC contractor might point out a better filter or filtration system that you should be using.
