What does HVAC maintenance do for your Heating and Cooling System?

It's recommended to maintain your HVAC system twice a year. The winters in and around Van Nuys can get frigid, and the summers are sweltering, so an inspection in the spring and fall will get your unit ready for long seasons of continued use.

Doing so will have several benefits for you and your family.

1. Professional cleaning and inspection of your HVAC unit can save you money in the long run by ensuring that it's working efficiently. If there are issues with your system that can't be spotted visually, they might lead to more expensive repairs down the road. If a qualified technician can fix these issues early on, you'll save money on repair costs later on down the road.

1. A dirty air filter can reduce the efficiency of your heating and cooling system, but there are many other ways to improve it. There are many opportunities for an HVAC system to become more inefficient gradually. It relies on a collection of clean components to deliver heat and cooling without overexerting itself. 

Even changing your air filter every 30-90 days can be enough to start improving your system's efficiency. The air filter isn't the only component that collects dirt and dust over time. There are two places the technician will clean to improve your system's cooling — the evaporator coils and the condenser coils.

1. HVAC maintenance is a key factor in keeping your equipment running smoothly and efficiently. It's also one of the most important services you should be taking advantage of on a regular basis. Between the compressor motor, the air blower, and the condenser, there are plenty of fast-moving parts that keep the air cool and moving in your home.

One of the most critical aspects of an HVAC inspection is the tune-up these parts receive. Over time, parts can become loose, fall out of alignment, or lose lubrication. A tell-tale sign of a faulty A/C is an unusual noise like banging, scraping, whining, or squealing, which usually indicates a major repair is about to be needed. 

You can avoid wear on your parts and the sounds and issues of it by having a technician assess the moving parts and make necessary adjustments. They'll tighten and lubricate fans, fix belts, adjust the blower, and make any other minor repairs to keep the system from failing.

1. Furnaces are designed to heat your home quickly when it's cold outside, but they can pose a fire hazard if not properly maintained.  Carbon monoxide is a normal product from a furnace generating heat, but in a properly sealed system, these gases are stored and released without entering the home. A crack in a heat exchanger, no matter how small, can cause fumes to invade living spaces while also creating a potential fire hazard.

1. Whether you have a central air system or window units, your tech will check for leaks and fix them as needed.No matter which system you have, leaks are both dangerous and hard to detect. You may go a long time with a refrigerant problem without realizing that your system takes longer to cool. 

By having an inspection, you'll catch problems early, keeping you from overworking your system and creating a health risk. If they find an issue, your tech will fix and recharge your A/C, protecting your home and the environment
