Annual tune-ups for heating and cooling systems are incredibly important for the longevity of the systems. By spending a little money each year on a tune-up, you can save thousands of dollars in expensive repairs and eventually early replacement of the systems.
Revolution’s standard practice is to have an annual HVAC tune-up completed on every property during the spring. This tune-up covers both the heating and air conditioning systems. The following items are done during the tune-up:
- Check all electrical components (check that wiring is not damaged or lose, all moving parts are lubricated)
- Measure the temperature split (average 15 degrees)
- Check amps on motors (indoor and outdoor); compressor
- Check reversing valve (HeatPumps)
- Check blades
- Check indoor unit is sealed properly
- Check area around indoor unit for insects/rodents
- Test capacitors to ensure within range
- Check contactor
- Check the disconnect box
- Change out filter
- Check all safety switches are working properly
- Check thermostat operations
- Check the condensate lines and clear out (cleaning is additional)
- Check refrigerant pressures to ensure within range (inspect refrigerant line insulation and refrigerant caps)
- Check unit pad (level)
- Check condenser coil and evaporator coil for buildup
- Provide recommendations
