Preventive Maintenance Checklist

RUUD air conditioning and heating system

Whether you call it preventive maintenance, a summer or winter start-up, a tune-up, a check up, or planned maintenance, it is all the same thing.  It really doesn’t matter what you call it, as long as you have it done.  (Click the link to read more on Air Conditioner maintenance) It is recommended that you have your air conditioning and heating system checked out at least two times a year.  One time before the heat of summer, and one time before the cold days of winter.

Here is the list of tasks that we carry out on each planned maintenance check

  • Inspect the condenser coil (clean for an additional charge) – Dirty coils will cause your system to run longer, reduce the life of the unit, and increase energy costs.
  • Check and inspect the condensate drain – A stopped up drain line can cause water damage in your home.  It also can affect the humidity level in your home.
  • Test and adjust operating pressures
  • Inspect the blower assembly / check air flow (remove and clean for an additional charge) – Proper air flow is essential for better comfort levels. Problems with airflow can reduce your system’s efficiency by up to 15%.
  • hvac burnt wires

    Loose connections were the cause of this electrical fire.

    Check all electrical connections and capacitors – This includes measuring the voltage and amp draws on the motors.  Loose or faulty electrical connections can make your unit unsafe to run and can reduce the life of the major components.

  • Test and check safety controls – This helps to ensure safe and proper operation and cycling of your unit.
  • Lubricate necessary moving parts – Parts that are not lubricated can cause friction in the motors and will increase the amount of power that you use.
  • honeywell thermostatCheck thermostat operation – This ensures that your a/c and heating system keeps you comfortable when you are home and saves energy when you are not.
  • Measure temperature difference
  • Check expansion valve
  • Inspect and spray evaporator coil with cleaner (only if accessible)
