Having a well-maintained HVAC system is essential for a comfortable and healthy home. Regular tune-ups can help ensure that your system is running at peak performance and can help extend its life expectancy. At Nevada Residential Services, our technicians are trained to perform comprehensive air conditioner tune-ups using our 20-point checklist. We can quickly provide you with an estimate of the cost of air conditioning service and schedule your annual maintenance so you can rest assured that your HVAC system is running smoothly all year round.
An HVAC tune-up is a great way to keep your system in top condition. The first step is to check the filters and make sure they are the right type and are changed regularly, at least every two to three months. If you don't use any special filters, like AccuClean, make sure to change them regularly. The thermostat is another important part of your air conditioning system.
During a tune-up, an experienced technician will check that your thermostat doesn't need new batteries and that all the cables are properly connected. They'll also check the calibration to make sure it's reading correctly. The temperature division is another factor in determining if your system is working properly. The temperature division is the difference between the temperature inside your home and the temperature coming out of the ventilation grilles.
On average, this should be 15 degrees. If it's lower than that, it could indicate that your system is too old or too small to produce cold enough air, or that there's a problem with the system preventing it from producing colder air, such as a restriction or leak. During an HVAC tune-up, an experienced technician will also measure voltages and amp consumption inside the outdoor AC capacitor. They'll tighten cables and connections, and test the performance of the fan motor, contactor, compressor and condenser.
This helps eliminate common factors that contribute to reduced system cycles. When the air conditioner tune-up is complete, your HVAC professional will provide you with a system status report. They'll also inspect and clean the visible condensate pipe and drain of the HVAC system. It's recommended to schedule an annual tune-up for both air conditioning and heating systems. This helps identify any potential problems before they become bigger issues, saving you money on repairs down the line. During a tune-up, an HVAC specialist will change filters, evaluate fan motors and check coolant levels. Having a well-maintained HVAC system is essential for a comfortable and healthy home.
