Maintenance

Just like your car, your heating and air conditioning system is more likely to break down more often without routine servicing. Your heating and air conditioning system needs regular maintenance to keep performing at its best and to be more energy efficient. With scheduled maintenance, you can prevent expensive repairs and ensure that your system continues to operate properly.

Air Conditioning
Parts Inspected	Service Provided	Value of Service
Air Filter	Inspect and replace if dirty	A restricted air filter will cause improper air flow, waste energy, and can shorten the life of your compressor
Condenser Coil	Clean coil and inspect fins	A dirty condenser coil raises refrigerant pressure, increasing energy costs
Blower Assembly	Inspect and clean blower assembly	A dirty blower assembly reduces air flow requiring longer operating time, increasing energy costs and reducing comfort
Refrigerant Charge	Checked by super-heat/sub-cooling gauges	Improper refrigerant levels can damage compressor and increase energy costs. Also, improper refrigerant levels can mean that you have a leak in your system.
Evaporator Coil	Inspect and clean evaporator coil	A restricted air filter will cause improper air flow, reduced air quality, waste energy, and can shorten the life of your compressor.
Thermostat	Calibration and operation	A thermostat not operating properly can reduce comfort and cause unit to run inefficiently.
Condenser Motor	Inspect and oil/lubricate if necessary	Properly operating motors keep unit running efficiently
Controls and Safety Devices	Inspect and test	Controls and saftey devices not operating properly can increase operating costs and cause other components to fail.
Condensate Drain	Inspect and unclog if necessary	A clogged condensate drain can overflow from drain pan causing water damage.
Relays and Contactors	Inspect and test	Worn contactors and relays can lead to motor or compressor failure.
Capacitors	Inspect & Test	A capacitor that is not functioning properly can cause a motor to fail.
Fan Blade	Inspect	A damaged fan blade can affect operation of condenser.
Disconnect and wiring	Inspect and tighten connections, check voltage with gauges	A worn disconnect can blow fuses and loose wiring connections can lead to motor or compressor failure.
Belts and pulleys	Inspect and adjust if necessary	Loose belts and worn pulleys reduce air flow, increase operating costs.
Coil Air Temperatures	Measure Air Temperatures Across Evaporator Coil	Measure temperatures to verify proper operation.
Defrost Timer (Heat Pumps)	Inspect	A defrost timer that is not working properly can cause a loss of heat and can shorten the life of the compressor.
Reversing Valve (Heat Pumps)	Inspect Operation	A reversing valve that is not working properly increases energy costs and can cause compressor failure.

Heating
Parts Inspected	Service Provided	Value of Service
Air Filter	Inspect and replace if dirty	A restricted air filter will cause improper air flow, waste energy, and can shorten the life of your compressor
Gas Burners	Inspect and clean	A dirty burner can cause poor combustion and reduce efficiency
Pilot Assembly	Clean and adjust if necessary	A weak or dirty pilot can result in unreliable operation and cause unit to shut down
Thermocouple	Inspect	A defective thermocouple will cause the furnace to shut down
Flame Sensor	Inspect and clean	A dirty flame sensor can result in unreliable operation
Blower Assembly	Inspect and clean blower assembly	A dirty blower assembly reduces air flow requiring longer operating time, increasing energy costs and reducing comfort
Heat Exchanger	Inspect for cracks and deterioration	A cracked heat exchanger can result in the risk of toxic fumes being emitted
Condensate Drain	Inspect and unclog if necessary	A clogged condensate drain can overflow from drain pan causing water damage
Flue Pipe	Inspect	A rusted flue pipe can result in carbon monoxide leaks
Motor	Inspect and oil/lubricate if necessary	Properly operating motors keep unit running efficiently
Fan Switch	Inspect and adjust if necessary	A fan switch that is not properly adjusted can increase energy costs
Controls and Safety Devices	Inspect and test	Controls and safety devices not operating properly can increase operating costs and cause other components to fail
Combustion Air	Inspect openings to mechanical equipment room	Blocked or restricted combustion air openings will affect operation of unit and can be dangerous
Panels	Inspect and secure	Loose panels will affect operation of unit and can be dangerous
Thermostat	Calibration and operation	A thermostat not operating properly can reduce comfort and cause unit to run inefficiently
Gas Line and Gas Valves	Inspect	A gas line with leaks is dangerous
Auxillary Heat Strips (Heat Pumps)	Inspect	Heat strips not operating properly can result in heat loss

Some Benefits of Proper Maintenance:

Energy Savings - The heating & cooling system is usually the largest user of energy in a home or business. Regular maintenance to keep the system efficient will have a positive effect on your utility bills.

Avoid Costly Repairs - Just like changing the oil in your car or having it tuned-up, routine maintenance and tune-ups for your heating & air conditioning system will prolong the life of your system and help avoid costly repairs caused by neglect.

Warranty Protection - Warranties from manufacturers require that your system be properly maintained. If your system does not have regularly scheduled maintenance, then the manufacturer will void the warranty on your equipment.

Safety - With regular maintenance, our technicians will be able to identify any potential problems that could potentially become fire or carbon monoxide hazards.

Priority Service - With a PROTECH Preventative Maintenance Agreement, you will receive priority scheduling for any service calls and you will also save 15% on all future service/parts.
