There are several major components of your home where preventive maintenance will play an important role in long-term quality, and your HVAC system is one of the top examples. HVAC maintenance is vital for keeping your entire system in great shape and saving you money while staying comfortable in your home, and understanding the common elements included in such maintenance appointments can go a long way.
At All Pro Appliance, we’re here to help with a wide range of HVAC maintenance and repair needs for clients across Salt Lake City, including both air conditioner and furnace tune ups, repairs, replacements and more. In this two-part blog series, we’ll go over many of the key elements that are typically found during air conditioning maintenance appointments that you should be scheduling during the current spring season, helping you understand what will take place during these appointments and why these services are important on a yearly basis.
One of the first areas we’ll look at during an HVAC maintenance appointment is the basic control system. This includes both wiring and connections that are part of your system, which we’ll inspect for any potential issues or damage.
We’ll look at your thermostat, plus any remote control devices you use to manage your HVAC system. If there are any areas of concern here, we’ll make repairs or replacements as necessary.
Another vital element of an AC maintenance appointment is the air filter. This component is responsible for keeping debris and other contaminants out of your home’s air supply, and it must be replaced regularly to ensure this function is taking place effectively. We’ll show you how to do this on your own if you prefer, or we’ll handle it during the appointment for you.
Your AC’s evaporator and condenser coils are another area of focus during maintenance, as they’re responsible for transferring heat between coolant and air. These can become dirty over time, which impedes their ability to do this effectively and can even lead to frozen coils. We’ll clean and inspect these components during the appointment.
Another possible task we’ll handle during AC maintenance is lubricating any moving parts or components within the system. This includes areas like bearings, motors and other related parts, which can wear down over time without proper lubrication.
For instance, a lack of lubrication can significantly increase the friction within your system, forcing it to work harder and potentially leading to costly repairs or replacements. With proper lubrication, these components will have their lifespan extended and keep you comfortable for longer periods of time.
In part two of our series, we’ll go over a few additional areas that are typically included in an air conditioner maintenance appointment, plus why these services are so vital.
