Heating and Air Conditioning equipment, no matter what kind you have, should be inspected, cleaned, and serviced at least once a year. The best scenario is to have the heating system checked in the Fall and the air conditioning checked in the Spring. Oil-fired equipment should be cleaned and serviced annually; at the beginning of each heating season.
Just a few of the services performed at an annual maintenance visit are:
- Clean or Replace the Air Filter
- Clean the Indoor Coil
- Clean the Outdoor Coil
- Clean the Condensate Pump
- Overall Visual Inspection
- Drain check
- Heat exchanger inspection
Benefits include:
- Increased dependability
- Find potential problems and fix them quickly
- Provide maximum efficiency, which lowers energy costs
- Prolongs the life-span of the equipment
- Maintains safe and healthy operation
- It can help to protect the environment
- Drastically reduces the chance of a break-down which usually happens at night or on weekends when repair rates are higher
