Our HVAC Maintenance Process
Our process is thorough yet efficient. We begin with a full system inspection during the spring or fall. During each maintenance visit, we check critical components like your filter, wiring, refrigerant lines, and safety systems. Here’s what we do:
- Upgrade your filter: We recommend using pleated, high-efficiency filters with electrostatic charges to trap more particles.
- Replace dirty filters: Check monthly and replace every 90 days—or monthly if you have pets.
- Inspect outdoor units: We clear at least two feet of space around your AC or heat pump.
- Clean debris: Weekly during spring, summer, and fall, we remove leaves, pollen, and grass clippings.
- Check refrigerant insulation: Damaged or missing line insulation? We’ll replace it.
- Ensure unit is level: Each year, we verify the system is on stable, level ground.
- Prevent clogs: We flush the condensate drain with a bleach and water mix to stop mold and algae buildup.
- Service humidifiers: Shut off water in summer. In fall, we replace the wick filter and set humidity between 35–40%.
- Optimize airflow: We ensure you don’t close more than 20% of registers, which strains the system.
- Replace CO detector battery: Safety is key. We swap batteries once per year.
We keep detailed records and notify you if anything needs repair, replacement, or additional attention.
