Are you wondering why your company is spending more money on electricity?
When you first install your heating and AC units, you will notice that your electric costs are fairly low. Modern technology has made our heating and cooling systems much more efficient than in past years. However, heating and cooling units degrade over time. Much like your car, heating and AC units are mechanical and need to be serviced in order to reach their full potential.
This is when an HVAC tune-up is needed.
What Happens During An HVAC Tune-Up?
An HVAC tune-up is an annual inspection and repair of your heating and ac units. A tune-up will keep your systems running at peak efficiency so that they will last longer and cost less money to use.
When the service professional arrives at your business, he will spend anywhere from one to two hours inspecting and performing maintenance on your units.
He will identify what parts of your units are not working at their peak efficiency.
What Happens During An AC Unit Tune-Up?
When tuning up your AC unit, the service professional will:
- Adjust your thermostat
- Clean your air filter
- Repair exposed wires
- Ensure that your fan is blowing
- Measure the amperage of the compressor
There are many other smaller tasks that your professional will do such as inspecting your indoor coil and testing your capacitors.
If your AC unit frequently freezes, the inspector will look for blocked airflow, refrigerant leaks, and issues with internal coils. A frozen AC unit can be unpleasant during the warmer months. Frequent tune-ups can prevent the situation from happening.
What Happens During A Heating Unit Tune-Up?
When tuning up your heating unit, the service professional will:
- Inspect the internal heating elements
- Check the burners for proper ignition
- Adjust the flame sensor
- Test the carbon monoxide detector
During the inspection, the exterior will be analyzed for leaks, corrosion, and proper ventilation. This inspection and tune-up can help your heating unit last for many years and run at peak efficiency.
