Prolong the life of your heating and cooling system by having a NATE certified technician perform maintenance as prescribed by the equipment’s manufacturer.

Proper preventative maintenance should be performed on your HVAC equipment at least once a year. A thorough plan will include cleaning the indoor and the outdoor coils. Clean coils will increase the efficiency of the system and help increase the longevity of the systems compressor. A check of the electrical controls for tight connections, smooth contacts, reading of capacitor, and amp draw readings help identify potential failures and correct them before they become a nuisance. Verifying the air handlers ability to drain property helps to prevent condensate overflow, which can cause major ceiling damage. Verifying the proper refrigerant level ensures the system is running as efficiently as possible and that the system will provide comfort all year long. Newer gas furnaces are need routine maintenance more than ever. Checking and adjusting the furnaces gas pressure for multi-stage operation protects the heat exchanger and ensures the air is not getting too hot, lowering the humidity in your home. Condensing gas furnaces have condensate line that not only drain the humidity in the summer, but drain the condensed flue gas in the winter months. All manufacturers recommend at least an annual check to allow the system to provide years of reliability and comfort.
