One crucial aspect of maintaining your HVAC system is conducting a thorough pre-service checklist before the start of each heating or cooling season. This checklist helps ensure that your system is operating at peak efficiency, preventing potential breakdowns and prolonging the life of your equipment. Our highly trained, NATE-certified technicians are committed to delivering the most dependable products and services in the industry.
The Importance of a Pre-Service Checklist
A pre-service checklist is a comprehensive inspection of your HVAC system, performed by a qualified technician. This checklist covers a wide range of components and functions, including:
- Thermostat settings: Ensuring that your thermostat is programmed correctly and accurately controlling your system
- Air filters: Checking and replacing air filters to maintain proper airflow and indoor air quality
- Electrical connections: Inspecting and tightening electrical connections to prevent safety hazards and ensure proper operation
- Condensate drain: Clearing any blockages in the condensate drain to prevent water damage and maintain proper humidity levels
- Refrigerant levels: Checking refrigerant levels to ensure that your system is operating efficiently and effectively
By completing this checklist before the start of each season, our technicians can identify and address any potential issues before they become major problems. This proactive approach saves you time, money, and the inconvenience of an unexpected breakdown during the hottest or coldest days of the year.
How Can You Prepare?
Here are some ways you can help get ready for your service appointment:
- Know where all of the heating and cooling units are in your home.
- Check your air filter. A dirty air filter is a common cause of problems.
- Write down the model number of all your products.
- Make sure the system is accessible by the technician, including units in crawl spaces or attics.
- Put your pets in a separate room.
- Make sure an adult (18 years or older) is home to let your technician in.
- Be prepared to answer the phone. Many technicians call when they’re on the way.
- If you rent, make sure you have permission to have your system serviced.
- Have information on all prior services performed on your system readily available.
- Be prepared to make a payment.
