The extreme swings between bitter cold and heat and humidity in Pennsylvania can stress heating and cooling equipment. The home HVAC system is among the biggest expense faced by a homeowner, and it’s critical to protect that investment in equipment through preventive maintenance.

With Regular Scheduled Maintenance, HVAC Emergency Repairs can be avoided in most cases and you can avoid the need of placing a call for:

    •    My Air Conditioner is not “blowing cold Air”

    •    My Oil Furnace or Gas Furnace is not working

Preventive maintenance on your Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning system will not only ensure that the equipment is operating at maximum efficiency but it will also extend the life of that equipment. Government research shows that a regular tune-up of your heating and cooling system will save you money in the long run because of reduced energy costs. The high efficiency air conditioners on the market now can cut electric bills significantly but only if they are properly maintained.

When a trained service technician comes to your home to perform the maintenance check, they will do several things:

    •    Check refrigerant levels and inspect for leaks

    •    Clean and straighten condenser coils to ensure proper air flow

    •    Check gas connections for leaks

    •    Tighten all electrical connections

    •    Lubricate all moving parts

    •    Test thermostat to make sure it’s cycling the system on and off properly

    •    Check air filter

Most manufacturers of heating and cooling equipment require annual preventive maintenance on their equipment to maintain the warranty. Many contractors offer service contracts that will include a visit in the spring to tune up the air conditioning system and a visit in the fall to prepare the heating system for winter.
