3 Benefits of Improving IAQ in Plano, TX

Preventative HVAC Maintenace for your Heating and Air Conditioning System

If you want worry-free HVAC, preventive maintenance is the way to go. As a Trane Comfort Specialist, we implement the proper maintenance techniques and procedures and get a thorough understanding of each unit we work on, inside and out. Climatemakers’ heating and AC maintenance services for Virginia Beach homeowners are the key to keeping comfort high and costs low.

Why You Need Seasonal HVAC Tune-Ups

If everyone got maintenance every year, HVAC breakdowns would be extremely minimal. But without annual tune-ups, your HVAC will be in an ongoing state of deterioration. The longer that continues, the more things will go wrong, and the more often you’ll be paying for HVAC repairs. Our NATE-certified technicians understand the importance of this and are dedicated to making sure our customers’ HVAC systems are healthy and efficient.

What You Can Expect During a Maintenance Appointment

We have a full, 42-point checklist we complete during a maintenance appointment, and these are only a few of the steps we perform. We’ll also check your condenser fan and safety devices to make sure everything is running properly. All of these precautions ensure your family stays safe and your HVAC system runs smoothly, helping you avoid future repairs.

COOLING

You Too Can Live in Paradise!

See for yourself the details of the most comprehensive Tune-up/Check-up in the industry.

  1. Check thermostat — Improperly calibrated thermostat affects comfort and operating costs.
  2. Start unit — Verify unit is operational before tune-up takes place.
  3. Check return air filter — A restricted filter causes unit to waste energy
  4. Routine cleaning of evaporator coil** — A dirty evaporator coil decreases efficiency and can lead to compressor failure.
  5. Check condensate pan and fittings for leaks — A cracked pan or loose fittings can cause expensive water damage.
  6. Check condensate drain** — A plugged condensate drain can cause expensive water damage.
  7. Check blower motor amp draw — Ensures optimum performance; protects equipment.
  8. Check blower wheel — A dirty blower wheel reduces airflow; increases operating costs and can lead to compressor failure.
  9. Check blower motor stability — Unstable blower motors can cause premature failure of the motor and damage to the system.
  10. Lube motors & bearings — Improperly lubricated rotating equipment will eventually fail.
  11. Check belt, pulleys and alignment — Avoids costly service calls, saves money on utility costs.
  12. Examine all electrical connections — Extends life of system; ensures safety.
  13. Check total electrical consumption — Ensures optimum performance; protects equipment.
  14. Check unit disconnect switch — Worn, overheated disconnect blows fuses; potentially dangerous
  15. Examine parts for visible wear — Avoids costly service calls.
  16. Check temperature difference across coil — Temperature difference can indicate proper cooling of system. Also affects comfort level.
  17. Remove debris around outside unit — Promotes efficiency. Prevents damage to equipment.
  18. Routine cleaning of condenser coil — Dirty condenser coils raises refrigerant pressures increasing electrical costs.
  19. Check condenser fan motor amp draw — Ensures optimum performance; protects equipment.
  20. Check condenser fan motor stability — Prevents costly service calls.
  21. Check condenser fan blades for vibration — Prevents damage to unit and costly service calls.
  22. Check crankcase heater* — Crankcase heaters that do not work lead to compressor failure.
  23. Check reversing valve* — Improperly operating reversing valve wastes energy.
  24. Check relays & contactors — Worn contactors and loose connections can lead to motor and compressor failure.
  25. Check capacitors — Bad capacitors lead to compressor and motor failure.
  26. Test time delay — Prevents unit from starting under load when power has been temporarily interrupted.
  27. Check defrost assembly* — A defrost timer that does not work correctly causes loss of heat and can shorten life of compressor.
  28. Check all controls — Extends the life, saves money, and prevents failure.
  29. Check all safety devices — Keeps unit in safe operating condition.

  31. Test refrigeration metering device — Blockage or improper operations of metering device reduces cooling capacity, increases fuel costs, and shortens system life.
  32. Check compressor amp draw — Ensures optimum performance, protects equipment.
  33. Check noise and vibration levels — Increases comfort & extends life of equipment.
  34. Check and secure all panels — New systems have a blower door safety and will not operate if door is not properly in place.
  35. Wax outdoor unit** — For weather protection and extended life.
  36. Check water temperatures*** — Water temperatures are very important to the operation of the unit.
