When an HVAC service technician comes to your home and tunes and examines your heating and cooling systems he/she uses a checklist. The HVAC systems in your home, just like a car, need to be maintained to perform properly and last for years to come. This checklist provides the specialist with an industry standard guideline for each job in order to properly examine and troubleshoot any issues. Once the tune-up is complete, the homeowner is given a completed list of all the work done during the inspection. The following is a list of a few things the technician will check.

  • Filters and Belts – Your family or your office staff need a clean environment and the belts and filters must be check to ensure a clean environment. A routine inspection of belts and filters will allow the technician to not only keep your environment healthy but also determine if there are other problems in the system.
  • Coils – Coils are a part of the system that require space and cleanliness to run properly. Dust and other build-up will impair your coils and cause issues in the future if left unchanged.
  • Calibrating Temperature – You use the thermostat to set the temperature to a specific degree. Your HVAC system reads the temperature you set and attempts to produce that. Calibrating your system ensure that the temperature you set is the temperature you get.
  • Electrical Wiring Inspection – Electrical wiring is the key to running most of your system. If an electrical issue arises, checking the electrical will provide an answer. Electrical linkages within your system must be connected for it to work properly.
  • Ventilation Ducts – Your ventilation ducts can become filled with dust and other fragments that stick to the surface and obstruct airflow. A regular inspection of your ventilation ducts as well as cleaning will prevent clogs, mold, and other airborne complications.
  • Thermostats – Thermostats these days are very “smart” and can alert you to a variety of issues with your HVAC system. Pay attention to the thermostat to make sure you are alerted if there is a problem.

Every HVAC system needs regular service inspections and maintenance.
