Repairs Done Promptly and Professionally
Even with well-maintained heaters and air conditioners, it’s not unusual for homeowners to schedule one or two minor repairs during the year. Fortunately, most issues come with clear warning signs like premature shutdown, extremely long cycles, or poor airflow. Some problems will produce continual noise during operation; loose parts can rattle, or unlubricated motor bearings can make a grinding sound.
Whatever the situation, leave the diagnosis and the repair to an expert. A technician may perform both during the initial visit. Most teams have their trucks fully stocked with parts and tools, making second appointments largely unnecessary.
Metamora HVAC Company for Installations
Your ducted heat pump or gas furnace will need replacing after 15 years, generally speaking. The same goes for oil and electric furnaces after 25 years and mini-splits after 30 years. By the end of their lifespan, HVAC systems are breaking down and performing poorly in spite of repairs, so the choice to replace is normally not a hard one to make.
The challenge is getting a system that’s both affordable and energy-saving. Have a technician perform a load calculation on your home and factor in other details like the house’s size and insulation levels. You’ll then get a unit that’s neither oversized nor undersized. You could also consider a system with a variable-speed blower motor and zoning controls, which lets you create multiple temperature zones in your house.
Planned Maintenance for HVAC Units
Every air conditioner and heater deserves annual maintenance. It’s not enough just to change the filter now and then. Rather, you’ll want a technician to thoroughly inspect your equipment and make any necessary adjustments and repairs. Tune-ups take one to two hours to complete, and they cover a variety of tasks.
Here are just a few of those tasks:
- Electrical wiring assessment and replacement
- Cleaning of coils, heat exchangers, and more
- Leak detection and airflow testing
- A start-up check and testing of safety controls
