In the home, the HVAC system is generally the most expensive appliance. The unit provides both heating and cooling needed to keep everyone comfortable when the weather outside is not agreeable. With proper maintenance, units offer many years of dependable and efficient service.
While all air conditioning systems work in a fairly standard way to provide a cool environment in one’s house, there are options for keeping warm during the cold days of winter. Still, the maintenance required by the homeowner will remain basically the same, regardless of the method the system used to heat the home.
All forced air systems use a filter. This filter is usually easily accessible and should be checked at least once per month and replaced when dirty. At the very least filters should be changed once every three months. In addition to improving air quality inside the home, the filter protects the coils inside the unit from dirt and dust.
Systems that also provide air conditioning will have an outside unit as well as the one located inside the home. These units are exposed to dust, dirt and pollen. These materials collect in the coils reducing efficiency of the system. They can easily be removed using a gentle spray from a garden hose.
No matter the heat source, the system will require annual maintenance provided by a certified HVAC technician. The coolant levels in heat pumps and air conditioning systems are checked and balanced. Devices that burn fuel to create heat will have the burner cleaned and flame adjusted to ensure clean burning and efficiency. In addition, the device is checked for safety.
Maintenance of a heating and cooling system is needed to ensure it remains efficient and safe. Systems that are not serviced will lose as much as 10% efficiency each year. Most owners find the cost of a service call to be recovered in lower costs for utilities.
