Springtime is a great time for walks in the park, welcoming the blooming flowers, and tackling those cleaning projects. Spring is also the perfect time for both heating and cooling system tune-ups.
Since we’re in between heating and cooling seasons, you have the advantage of scheduling your service call on your time when your equipment is not in use. We’ll inspect your boiler or furnace for any wear and tear from winter usage, and get your central air conditioner or heat pump ready for the summer.
A tune-up, whether it’s for your heating or cooling system, is important because it results in:
• Increased energy efficiency and lower bills
• Extended equipment life
• Fewer breakdowns and repairs
• Improved safety
• Better air quality and comfort
The basic steps during a cooling system tune-up include:
• Change air filter
• Clean coils
• Check refrigerant level
• Check condensate drain
• Tighten electrical connections
• Lubricate moving parts
• Test thermostat and controls
• Inspect blower components
The basic steps during a heating system tune-up include:
• Replace or clean air filters (furnace) to ensure proper airflow and efficiency
• Clean components
• Inspect the heat exchanger
• Lubricate moving parts
• Check safety controls
• Calibrate and test
• For boilers only: flush the boiler and check the water level
As you can see, even with just the basic steps, our tune-ups are quite thorough – and if you are enrolled in our heating and cooling service plans, your tune-ups are included!
So, while you’re enjoying the fine spring weather, don’t forget to schedule your heating and cooling system tune-ups. Call us at (717) – 737 – 4562 or request an appointment!
