FAQs
Why is routine HVAC maintenance particularly important in Coalmont’s climate?
Coalmont experiences cold, damp winters and warm, humid summers. These seasonal swings force your heating and cooling equipment to work hard year-round, increasing wear and energy use. Regular maintenance keeps components lubricated, calibrated, and clean so they can handle the temperature extremes efficiently, prevent mid-season breakdowns, and maintain healthy indoor air quality despite the area’s moisture levels.
What is included in a typical heating and air conditioning maintenance visit?
A standard visit covers a multi-point inspection and tune-up: cleaning or replacing air filters, checking thermostat calibration, tightening electrical connections, measuring refrigerant charge and pressures, cleaning condenser and evaporator coils, inspecting blower components, testing safety controls, lubricating motors and bearings, verifying combustion efficiency on gas furnaces, and documenting any parts that show excessive wear so you can address them before they fail.
How often should I schedule preventative maintenance for my HVAC system?
Most manufacturers and utility companies recommend two maintenance visits per year—once in the spring for your air conditioner or heat pump and once in the fall for your furnace or heating section. Sticking to this biannual schedule ensures each system is optimized right before its heavy-use season, catching minor issues early and keeping your warranty valid.
Will routine service really lower my energy bills and extend equipment life?
Yes. Dirty coils, low refrigerant, or loose electrical connections can cut system efficiency by 5–15 %. A tuned, properly charged unit runs shorter cycles, draws less power, and maintains set temperatures more accurately, leading to immediate utility savings. Over the long term, reduced strain on motors, compressors, and heat exchangers helps them last several years longer, deferring costly replacements.
Does skipping maintenance affect my manufacturer warranty?
Almost all major HVAC manufacturers require proof of annual or biannual professional maintenance to keep warranties in force. If a covered part fails and you cannot show service records, the manufacturer may deny the claim. Routine inspections not only satisfy this requirement but also document system condition for homeowner insurance or resale purposes.
What can I do between professional visits to keep my HVAC system running smoothly?
Replace or clean air filters every 30–90 days, keep supply and return vents unblocked, remove leaves and debris from around the outdoor condenser, and maintain a clear two-foot radius for proper airflow. Check the thermostat batteries annually, keep registers dust-free, and listen for unusual noises or odors—if something seems off, schedule a service call before it escalates into a major repair.
