As you prepare for warm weather, it's smart to schedule a maintenance visit for your air conditioner. A professional technician will check your AC system and prepare it to run all season long. Here's a list of what you can expect during your service call.
Filter Change
It's a good idea to start the summer season with a brand-new air filter. A clean filter helps ensure the air flowing through your home is pure and free of harmful particles.
Line Clearing
Your AC's drain hose can become clogged over time. A maintenance professional will clear any clogs so your system can drain freely, reducing the chance of developing leaks that could result in costly damage.
Coil Refresh
If the evaporator coils are dirty, your air conditioner can't run at peak efficiency. Cleaning the debris that has accumulated over the winter will help your AC deliver consistently cool air throughout the summer.
Lubrication
Lubricant reduces friction between your system's moving parts as it runs. Less friction means less wear and fewer repairs throughout the season.
Ductwork Check
Leaky ductwork can limit how much cool air enters your living spaces. Your maintenance call may involve checking your ductwork for leaks and repairing any minor issues found.
Refrigerant Top-off
If your AC doesn't have enough coolant, the technician will add more during your maintenance visit. In addition, the technician will inspect the system to identify any refrigerant leaks.
Tight Connections
Throughout the year, critical electrical connections may start to come loose. A professional AC technician will tighten all connections to maintain your system's safety.

All furnaces should be serviced and maintained regularly to make sure that they continue heating effectively and efficiently. If you want to lessen the chances of your furnace breaking down over the winter, you should always have your furnace professionally serviced every year. In this post, we're going to discuss why furnace maintenance is important and what it involves.
The Importance of Yearly Furnace Maintenance
Furnace maintenance is essential for your safety. It helps to prevent possible fire hazards and carbon monoxide leaks. The technician servicing your equipment will always check that everything is functioning properly to ensure the furnace will automatically shut down if it overheats or experiences a safety issue. Maintenance is also important for the life of your furnace, ensuring it lasts anywhere from 15 to 30 years. It can also save you money by lowering your heating costs and helping to avoid costly repairs later on.
What Does Furnace Maintenance Entail?
Maintaining a furnace involves inspecting, cleaning and testing all of your heating system's components on an annual basis. This includes the various components inside the furnace, as well as the blower and thermostat.
A technician will inspect your ductwork to ensure it isn't damaged or leaking air. Damaged ductwork will greatly increase your energy costs and make your heating system far less effective.
Cleaning the blower assembly, furnace burners and flame sensor are especially important for keeping the furnace heating effectively. This also provides reliability. Inspecting the heat exchanger and exhaust flue is also essential for ensuring the furnace is properly vented and preventing carbon monoxide leaks.
