Over the years, we have learned that most heating & air conditioning systems have energy wasting problems that can be corrected through regularly scheduled preventive maintenance. Well documented studies have shown that:

• 1/100th of an inch of dirt on an evaporator coil can increase operating costs by 5%
  
  
• A dirty blower wheel can reduce air flow by over 30% which causes the unit to run longer.
  
  
• A 23% refrigerant undercharge can cause the unit to operate less efficiently by up to 52%
  
  
• Improper refrigerant undercharge will cause premature compressor failure.
  
  
• A small air leak in your return air ducts within a 120 degree attic can double operating costs.
  
  
• The bottom line is: Preventive Maintenance saves you money!

First, a technician diagnoses the situation and quotes a price it would cost to fix the problems. Then, we schedule the service call. The technician returns to prepare your system for the upcoming months. By checking the equipment early, you are less likely to experience major breakdowns when you need your system the most - the heat of summer or the cold of winter.

When we come out to your home for the pre-season inspection, we check all of these items and then some:

• Clean and/or replace filters
  
  
• Check and adjust refrigerant charge
  
  
• Clean and check condensate drains
  
  
• Check and lubricate all motors
  
  
• Clean and/or check blower wheel
  
  
• Inspect cleanliness of evaporator & condenser coils
  
  
• Check safety controls to ensure proper operation
  
  
• Wash condenser coil
  
  
• Check duct work and give recommendations.
